Absolutely YD, I've been shooting a Jim Fletcher Fletch Hook for several years and think its far and away the best release available...quick and positive hook up, super smooth release, nicely adjustable trigger, and mechanically bombproof.
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Hey YD, when I first saw the title I thought that maybe you were talking downriggers and this should have been in the trout forum. Sounds like you went and did it.
I prefer the hook style for my style of hunting. It is simple, easy to hook and unhook, and I get long life out of my d-loop.
I use a TRU-ball short-n-sweet with a leather wrist strap. Comfort,confidence, simplicity, and familiarity are important. When I get a buck in bow range and adrenaline kicks in it feels like that buck is staring right at me and I start to break out in a sweat, mouth goes dry, get tunnel vision, heart is pounding in my ears and start to shake...thats when I need all the help I can get. I don't have to look down or even think about it. My release is hanging right there from my wrist strap. Just grab the loop with the hook and draw, take a couple of deep breaths, settle the pin on the boiler room and let her fly.

THANKS GUYS......IT SEEMED LIKE A NO BRAINER TO ME ALSO, BUT I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CURVE BALLS THROWN AT ME IN THIS WHOLE BOW PROCESS. CRISP IS THE WORD HERE, ALSO EASY TO FIND THE LOOP IF I GET EXCITED. ALWAYS GOOD TO BOUNCE IT OFF GUYS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE. THANKS AGAIN.
