I agree they have their place, but they take a bit of getting used to. I haven't fished them for freshwater fish but have for Tarpon and the hookset is slow and on a 2 or 3 count as opposed to "setting the hook". I lost a couple fish I probably would have had on conventional hooks but they do keep fish mortality way down.
