So anyway I used the 1/12 oz. version. Since the fish didn't want to bite it bare, I had to bait it. Well for whatever reason the hook got dull quickly. Maybe just the fish chomping on it and pressing the hook points against lure. It just seemed like the hook that came with it wasn't sticking it to the crappies or as they say it, the soft papermouths aren't pinning it for good. Well, other hooks were working fine. This didn't appear to be an isolated situation, got the same results with the PK Predator spoon. The hook points got dull rather quickly. All crappies were hand finger hook removed so no forceps or pliers used to damage anything.
