Out of curiosity what type of "landing" percentage do you have with the smaller (32) hooks? Once they are hooked and are "on" for a while how many do you land?
I know that when I start using size 18 or smaller hooks I seem to have a lot of fish that just seem to "let go" . I can have good pressure on the line (fish) and an appropriate drag and the hook just seems to pull loose. I doubt that I land 1/3 of the fish that I have on for more than a few seconds. I can only imagine that with a 32 the landing % must go way down.
