Making Your Best Lures Run Even Better

■ Fishing in Kona means getting attacked by marlin, and a marlin’s head is something like a cement rocket with a long bone spike. If you do hook a marlin, you will want to be able to safely and easily remove the hook. If you are conservation-minded, you will want to hook the fish in just the right spot so that the hookup is solid but the wound is not serious to the fish. Yikes!
