Owner XL Hook Bonnets

I'm a big fan of using hook bonnets to keep baits organized in the plastic takle boxes I keep in my boat. Not only can I hold more baits in each box with them being organized better, I also don't have to untangle them when I want to use them or draw (as much blood) pulling them out to use. Problem has been that the largest bonnets you can find in stores are too small for most musky baits. I forget which MMA member turned me on to the Owner XL Hook Bonnets (the blue ones) in a post on this Forum years ago but I owe that person a beer. Anyway, problem was that you could not get these bonnets (made in Japan) domestically and the only place on-line I found to get them on the net was in Australia (it took forever to get them given inevitable delays in clearing customs). I just discovered that Tackle Direct out of NJ is stocking them now and you can order on line.

I think you can buy them directly from Owner, too:

I wonder how many know what that meant? I must be old!

Will, you have sunk to a new low.

In the past I tried to order direct from Owner and you couldn't, you had to go through a distributor. Maybe they changed that too.

My dad was going to put in a big order for Owner hooks and i was gonna get some musky sized hooks when he does it. He is ordering them wholesale from owner, so they must be doing it now
