Yeah, that's what I ended up doing as well because I really like the double hook setup on the kokanut, and they really seem to get the fish. Unfortunately, the rubber part at the top of the kokanut doesn't last very long once you start jamming other hooks through them, but at $2-3 each, I would rather do that as long as I can than keep buying new kokanuts for every 3-4 fish I catch.
They are originally designed for kokes, and I'm sure they do well there. However, I don't think it would cost them any extra in production to use a different hook, and they would produce as well.
I did run into the guy from Shasta at the Sportsman's setup in the outdoor show and mentioned this problem to him. He seemed quite surprised, but was really friendly. I would suggest other people give them a friendly mention on this easy way to improve their product if other people are having the same problem. If it is just one report he gets, he is probably thinking I'm just totally wrenching on them with the pliers and that's why they are breaking.
