I was reading how Chris adds tippet to his hi-vis spinning line. I had a record day today fishing Sunline's Troutist 4lb Wild line tied directly to Crusader spoons (no tippet, no swivel ... just tied to the Crusader's split ring). Even though it was flat, slow water, nearly every cast produced a hit or a fish. I'm really happy with this line; it's a perfect match for my Tenryu Rayz Integral rod, Shimano Cardiff reel, and 2.5g Crusaders. I cast directly across the stream, let the Crusader sink for a 5 count, then slow-retrieved with an occasional twitch. The hi-vis line color doesn't seem to bother our SW Missouri trout. I think they are mesmerized by the Crusader!

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Seriously, all the hooks sold on Finesse-Fishing.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or attached to lures, are dangerously sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.
Also, all the rods sold on Finesse-Fishing.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
Whatever you do, do it with finesse!
