Hey, just wanted to FYI you guys… theres actually 2 ways to get free stuff from Trokar. Figured I’d share this with you all…
First way.
go to
http://www.lazertrokar.com/hook-survey
finish the survey and they’ll send you a pack of free trokar hooks, I believe they are mag ewg mag worm 3/0…
Also the big package, go to
http://www.lazertrokar.com/team-trokar
Take the quiz… if you guys want a little study guide go to
http://www.lazertrokar.com/faqs
For the answers… I hear it takes up to 3 weeks for delivery, but free is for me, and I seen on youtube videos of some guys getting their stuff in…I think in the quiz they send you a hat, a decal, a sticker and the 15 pro pack
yea i did the big quiz i think 2-2 1/2 weeks ago, hopefully my package comes soon.
i did all last week ill be patiently waiting
All I got for the quiz was a decal a cheapo poster a window sticker and a
Pack (of 5 hooks) 3/0. Not complaining hey it's free but no hat or pro pack of 15 hooks
I did both, will believe it when I have the hooks in my grubby little hands...
I got some 5/0 worm hooks
perfect for me, I like to throw my worms
just did it. hope i get it in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm in.
I got 3/0 finesse hooks which I will never use so I gave them away. But I use the bag for my rain gear
Thanks for the info
I filled one out over a month ago...it never came. =-/
I'm gettoing a heck of a lot more junk mail in my inbox now though.....Thanks Trokar,just what I needed...more spam mail.
Thanks for letting us know about this.
Ok I did it, I hope to get the free pack and give them a try. I always wanted to try them but they where too $$$$$ for my blood! But I will try them if they send a pack to me!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank You very much for sharing!!
if anyone receives anything post pics up (im sure you will)
Thanks for the heads up! If anyone knows of other offers like this let us know lol
figured as much as they cost and as good as they so called are....free, you cant beat
Just finished, lets see what I get
-gk
Thanks for the links buddy!
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I'll get some hooks! I love free.
Sweet dude! Can't wait to get some free stoof!
Thanks for the heads up! Free is goood....
Thanks man!
got a feeling the deals are gunna get pulled after being posted on a site like this. i bet they are realizing they are getting a bit more traffic right now. i tried anyways, but i'm not expecting to get much, if anything, or in short order. worth a shot though!
Just did it, thanks

then they realize sells might go up after people find out they like the hooks and want more

I think its a good marketing strategy.....If I get some and like them, I'll be buying some for sure. Though, it will be hard to pull me away from owner hooks..
Thanks for the links.

true, but how many people (me) just did it for free hooks. of the around 600 people the have viewed this thread, im sure about 80 percent of them signed up for at least one, and probably both things. assuming that they are giving away just 3 packs to about 400 people, 6 bucks for 3 hooks, thats 2400 dollars. now if everyone signed up for both, they could be getting potentially 6 hooks and various other products probably costing the company around 6 grand, just from traffic from this website alone. its a decent marketing stategy yes. but i was saying they realized "oh crap" when they noticed how many people were signing up and how much money they lost so quickly. the odds of people buying more trokars is the risk they take when they give the stuff away. youre right with your assumption, but personally, at 8-9 bucks for a 4 pack of hooks, they can keep em.
Prices on them have dropped to around 6.99 down here. I'm assuming that is nationwide but I could be mistaken.

The Gander Mountain by me was running a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.
Needless to say, I stocked up.
I'm glad there's a bit of a price break on these because since I tied one on I have no desire to go back to my usual Gammys.
yeah there $6.99 at my local walmart all day long
On 3/15/2012 at 5:18 AM, Brand0n said:yeah there $6.99 at my local walmart all day long
even at 7 dollars for 4 hooks, i cant justify it. the way fuel costs are and the distance from my local walmart (that doesnt have them anyways, you guys have nice walmarts i guess!) id be lookin at about 10 bucks a pack. or i could get a 20 pack of lazer sharps for about the same price. i end up losing them before they get too dull or rusted to use anyways.
The only thing keeping me from using Trokar hooks is the price. I believe in the whole cutting is better than conical point thing, but not at those prices. Maybe if my livelihood depended on it. But it doesn't so, naah.
Anyone get their hooks yet?

I'm having Siebert Outdoors make me some (10) jigs with Trokar hooks!!!!
Can't wait.
I signed up around march 12th and still haven't gotten anything in the mail. I bet they are getting a lot more requests than they bargained for.

Got mine last week. A pack of 5/0 Finnesse worm hook and a Trokar string draw bag plus decals!
Nothing yet, signed up a few weeks ago
Just took the quiz... fingers crossed I get something useful!
On 3/28/2012 at 6:10 PM, Hi Salenity said:Anyone get their hooks yet?
Nope. But, I signed up March 13th.
I just did both tests... we'll see
I did both the survey and quiz, my girlfriend let me use her information and I did the quiz and survey again. Hopefully I got 4 packs of hooks coming
I did it a month ago and still no hooks
I've been waiting for over a month also. Hopefully one of these days I will get some hooks!
I received the bag, one decal, and a pack of 7/0 Flipping Hook. This freaking thing is huge! I will give them a good try. I purchased the TroKar Drop Shop hooks before and after about 5 or 6 smallmouth, the tip was either bent or dull, because I couldn't puncture a paper bag with it. Same thing happened to the next TroKar drop shot hook. I didn't like that fact that I spent so much money per hook to only last me 4 or 5 fish. I am hoping this 7/0 monster will stay sharp a lot longer.
I got mine today... Decal and a pack of 2/0 worming hooks. Give 'em a try tomorrow.
I took both quizzes and just got a pack of 2/0 EWG worm hooks. I was kind of hoping for something different since I just bought a 25 pack of EWG Gamakatsu's. Anybody have something they might want to trade?
I got mine today. 7/0 flippin hooks and 2 decals. Talk about heavy duty, these are some serious hooks.
Received mine as well today 1/0 worm hooks w/a decal.
Just got my package. 2/0 EWG worm hooks and a Trokar sticker. I never use 2/0 hooks but i'm not complaining, its free. Thanks Trokar!
Joe
yeah same here got some ewg 2/0 worm hooks and a sticker...although were supposed to get more stuff. i needed some 2/0 hooks
I received mine as well, today. Didn't get the bag but got one pack of 7/0 flippin hooks
signed up awhile ago, nuthin yet but soon hopefully
So I take it these are randomized samples, I hope I get some 4 or 5/0s
On 3/31/2012 at 3:50 PM, Tom D. said:So I take it these are randomized samples
It appears so. I just got a pack of 1/0 and a decal. I took the quiz and the survey so hopefully I'll get another pack.
Just got mine.
1/0 EWG worm and a decal
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I received the 7/0 flippin hooks. I am not familiar with the flippin technique but what plastic baits can i use with a hook this size?
Got my hooks today. Got a decal and a pack of 7 HD 1/0 Worm Hooks. Thanks Trokar!

probably some small 7.5" or smaller curl tails They're probably the perfect size for a roboworm though.

Got the same.
Got qty (7) 1/0 EWG. Tickeled about the free hooks, I have really wanted to try these but the cost has kept me from doing so. The big pack from the other sign up has not shown up, hope it does that would be awesome.
Thanks for the heads up on this.
Mine came in today my wife texted me asking why a package from trokar was at the apt she was about to rip me a new one but I quickly fired an explanation about this thread to her and she understood and is gonna take it and have it sent to her parents in her name so I get double or she will keep em for herself.....
got a second pack of 1/0s and another decal, "for my wife"
Got a pack of 1/0's EWG and a sticker today in the mail.
Got hooks and decal today, about 3 weeks after i signed up.
I also got the 1/0 EWG, a hook that I will NEVER use!!! Anyone want to trade me for their flippin hooks?
Cliff
I hope I get atleast a 3/0 hook, all of these looks that are mentioned I never use... I think they are just unloading thier most unpopular hooks on us.
Got my free decal and pack of 2/0 EWGs last week.
Though I usually use a larger size hook, I needed some 2/0s.
I recieved mine yesterday. 1/0 EWG's and a sticker. Thanks again.
Mine came in the mail yesterday as well. 1/0 EWG's and the sticker. Very cool of Trokar. I will figure out a good use for the 1/0's and give em a go in a few weeks.
got some 2/0 ewg hooks and a decal, idk which quiz it was for though, i really want the drawstring bag

haha yeah well i figured thats what we would get anyways, but its still nice, i got 2/0 but they fit a lot of my lures well. They are PERFECT for a 4 inch senko.
Filled out both forms. Will respond back if/when I get them.
Ok, I caved in to the peer pressure. I took the quiz and survey. I'll give em a try if they send me some free uns.

I recieved my pack of 1/0 worm hooks yesterday and a sticker. I completed both quizes and its all i got. Free is good though, and these hooks are extremely sharp. Im gonna be purchasing a pack of 4/0 EWG for my eeliminators,shads and toads.
Got the 5/0 HD Worm hooks. With the decal, now I'm just waiting for my gf to get them in her mail.
Got mine Today! 6/0 flipping hooks! I don't use anything that requires a hook that big!
I took the survey and the quiz and I only got a pack of 1/0 ewg worm hooks I usually don't use anything that small but hell their free so I'll find something to use it on
they work great on bass assassin minnows.On 4/14/2012 at 4:24 AM, Catt said:Got mine Today! 6/0 flipping hooks! I don't use anything that requires a hook that big!
I just put the 5/0 thru a flab of skin in my arm, compared to a Gamakatsu... Let's just say Trokar hooks are sharp.. I didn't feel it.
I got mine today some 5/0 hd worm hooks. We'll see how they do.
Got mine today. They came in quick. In about 2 weeks. HW Worm hooks, 5/0.
Just got mine ten minutes ago, a pack of 4/0 EWG Worm hooks and a decal. No bag though
got mine today
I got 5 free 5/0 hooks in the mail yesterday. I did the quiz and the other thing but only got one package so far
I also got the 5 fre 5/0 HD worm hooks with a sticker.
Im glad I got something I could use, gonna try em out with some bigger worms today and see how I like em.
the 1/0 ewg are about the perfect size for baby brush hogs
It's been at least 3 weeks now but i did not get any hooks yet .

Did the quiz thing about 5 weeks ago and havnt gotten the big package of stuff. Got my free pack of 1/0 ewgs though.
I got the 5/0 worm hooks as well. Im going to have to throw a soft plastic on and give em a try
I just got mine. A pack of 6/0 flipping hooks and a decal.
Hey thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated!
I did it over a month ago and still nothing. Wondering if the mail man got him some nice hooks or what?
Got some 2/0 hd's and a sticker....Thanks TROKAR!!!
Anyone got a bag they dont want?
I got one of the packages - a sticker and (5x) 4/0 EWG hooks. I fish 4/0s with flukes and senkos.
Yeah, that's what I got too... for, I think, taking the SURVEY. I'm happy to get some of their hooks to try - especially for FREE... but I'm still waiting for the "pro-pack" as a result of taking the quiz and becoming a member of TEAM TROKAR...
Same, I use the Gamakatsu EWG hooks. Their website isn't working right so I can't check to see what the price was on them, but I probably won't be buying them because they were expensive (if I remember right) compared to Gamakatsu.

These hooks are way sharp. I'm sure if you are trying to get over a log and the hook even touches it, you'll be hung up.
a dozen 2 and 3 pounders. No hookups yet, I'm throwing them out weightless.On 4/28/2012 at 12:19 AM, Nodda4me said:Catch anything yet?

Filled out the survey 4/14, got a pack of 4/0 ewg worm hooks and sticker today 4/27.
I took both quizzes early this week and got my hooks (1/0 worm) and a decal today 4/27. I read where someone didn't like the size. if anyone does not want their 1/0s send them to me and I will have kooks all summer long for my 4in ringworms.Thanks to BrandOn and Eagle Claw.
Mike
I'd rather have the 1/0 hooks then the 5/0 hooks, personally
I got some 1/0 Trokar Hooks from those surveys. Willing to trade. Anyone interested let me know
I also got a pack of 4/0 EWG Worm Hooks and a decal. Nothing for the bigger survey yet.
Thanks for the heads up. Haven't got them but I just did the quiz 2 days ago got the reply on team reg so things r happening .Good lookn out thanks again.

Don't hold your breath waiting on the big package.
I guess I'll have to retract my previous statement. Mine showed up 7/28...but it's just another pack of hooks (2/0 ewg this time) and a little Trokar "T" sticker.
Yea - did the survey but I never got anything from them.
And it's been A WHILE now.
I e-mailed them and asked them if they forgot about me - guess they did.
I'm sticken with Owner thank you very much . . . . .
It took about a month to get my first pack, its now been about three months and I got a second pack, some 3/0 round bend work hooks. Took long enough, but its nice to get some free stuff

Yup, first a couple months ago i got the 1/0 EWG hooks. Yesterday i got a sticker and a pack of 4/0 MAG WORM. Is it just me or do gamakatsu feel sharper?

I feel what you mean.
My theory is Gammies feels sharper to touch because of the different style points. Gammies and other hooks etc just have needle point hooks, so it feels sharper, but trokars have the cutting point hook, so it doesnt feel as sharp. I also think the cutting point hooks last a little longer because it cuts through instead of just stabbing through. After about ten fish my Gammies get a little rolled.
Thanks to those who posted they got hooks today, popped this thread up as new, so I went and did the survey and quiz. Hopefully they will be in soon. Thanks again guys
hey since this is about trokar, lol they actually keep sending me hooks, i mean they have sent me some hd 1/0, some small flippen then today i pick up yesterdays mail i have some magworm 5/0
so what can i use the monsters for, lol i coould take em to walmart and switch em out
I just signed up for both, quick question. When I did the longer quiz it directed me to sign up, and I did but I didn't actually get a confirmation that they were sending me any gear... anybody have anything similar happen to them?

I posted on April 21 its been over a month. Well I finely got my hooks! They came yesterday on June 25 so a little over 3 months but they came! Six 3/0 ewg worm hooks. Witch is my prefer hook for brush hog! So I'm pretty pumped about that.

I did it quite a while ago, and it didn't take too long to get the first pack, 3/0 EWG, but the second pack took a long time, 5/0 EWG. No complaints here, free stuff is always great.
Weird.. I just received another package containing 5 4/0 hooks again, with some weird paper of the logo, could be a sticker but doesn't feel like one.
My first package was this same day 2 months ago, April, 27th.
Do they send something every 2 month or what?
I did get some in the mail the other day. They were 5/0 EWG. COOL
first package recieved....3/0 HD Worm (offset worm hook)

I believe it's a sticker dude, but yeah I got a 2nd package as well. I am starting to open up to Trokar!
I just received a second pack of 5/0 ewg hooks. Pretty neat.
Yeah I found that out.. I wasn't sure because it wasn't white, it's some water painted blue color, the first sticker was much better.On 6/28/2012 at 3:57 AM, Vinny Chase said:I believe it's a sticker dude, but yeah I got a 2nd package as well. I am starting to open up to Trokar!
Got some free 5/0EWG hooks today and a cool sticker for my car. WOOHOO! What a cool Company.
Just got mine yesterday too! They are finally getting caught up to the response. Must have cost them a pretty penny. Betcha they never do that again! LOL!
I bet it did cost them but I think it was a pretty good move on their part. Really... does it cost 1 dollar to make a hook? Of course not. Probably cost them a dollar or so for every pack of hooks they sent out for free.
For sake of argument... say it was 10,000 packs sent out. OK... $10,000 initial investment.
(Don't have a calculator available so this is all done in my head so bear with me if I make a mistake)
Say only a third of the people receiving these hooks begin to buy Trokar and buy one pack to try them again. Trokar profits $3.00 per pack. So... you are back to almost your initial investment with $9,900.00.
These same 1/3rd will buy more (Really...how many times do you just buy one pack of hooks?) and say it is just 3 more packs. We are at 9900 packs at $3.00 profit for a total of $29,700.00
Now... there is a return on the investment by Trokar. This will compound based on word of mouth.
Add that to say... they average only one person by word of mouth that buys 1 pack based on their recommendation... add another $9,900.00.
Total profit = $39,500.00.
Even if you factor in two packs per person sent... still a profit of almost 29 grand. Since Trokar is owned by one of the biggest fishing manufacturers in the world, Eagle Claw, there is nothing lost here by them. More than likely it was 100,000 people who responded so profit would be more like a quarter million bucks.
I do not know how many packs of hooks they sent out or what their profit margin is but you can bet... they though this out. Anyway... it's probably from the advertising budget and any loss is tax deductible.
I finally got mine yesterday......2/0 worm hooks. I don't use a 2/0 for anything.
Got a pack of 3/0 Worm hooks yesterday. Been about 8 weeks. Better late than never. Can't complain about freebies.
Finally got my hooks. 2/0 EWGs. I don't really use EWGs but you can't complain about free.
I got a pack of 1/0 ewg hooks, never received the big package of stuff (stickers and whatever other swag). Free hooks are free hooks, but....1/0? Come on....
I also got another free pack of hooks last week! 4/0 EWG first time now some 3/0 Ewg's. Neato.
The way I look at it, it only took me 2 minutes to do the survey and maybe 5 minutes for the quiz. Whatever free stuff they send me will be put to good work. If they don't send me anything then I haven't really lost anything.
Just got mine. 2/0 Ewg's. Hooray for free stuff.
Thanks for this news. Just got my package today.
Got a third pack today. 4/0 EWG's. They just like sending me hooks I guess!
Got mine in today, 5 pack of 4/0 megaworm hooks. MSRP 9.99 and 1.95 for shipping, can't beat that for free!
Finally got mine. Thanks Eagle Claw
Just got my hooks! I took the survey about 4 weeks ago. I received 2/0 EWG worm hooks which is exactly what I love to right my soft plastics with! Thank you!
got some 3/0 worm hooks today from them
Just got one pack of hooks for doing the survey today. Still waiting on the pack for doing the quiz. I got the 2/0 EWG 6 pack. At wally world here they run about $7 so no complaints. Plus, they look bigger than my 3/0 hooks that I usually use made by Gamakatsu. It took around 3 weeks, they were free, and I didn't have to pay shipping. You can't beat that. Now if I can just get Strike King to send me a free pack of Rage Tail (anything but the Thumper, Anaconda, or Smokin' Rooster).
Here's a pic just in case anyone has any doubts. Of course, I hid my address though.
Disregard the date on bottom right. I need to get that fixed. Too lazy to mess with the menu options and it runs my cheap batteries down.
some how i got another pack of ewg hooks from them in 3/0 the other pack i got was 2/0 thanks! haha
I don't know why you guys are getting them so late. I got mine within one week. I live in Georgia and they are in Colorado.

I blame it on the postal service. For the last 2 months or so, I've been getting bills and notices after the due date. Thankfully my wife keeps up with them. If it was just one bill from one place then I'd say it's the company, but it's 3-4 different bills/notices from different places. Another weird thing is that if I get mail from out of state it takes less time than in the same city or state. For some reason they run in city/state mail all the way down to Atlanta and then back up to Rome.
As stated before, it's not like I paid money for the hooks or shipping. Which begs the question as to how they are even making money at all if they are giving away that many hooks.
Now if I can just get to feeling better. I'm on the last 3 days of my meds and they are having a worse effect on me now than when I fist started. I have pretty much been sleeping all day today, but my waking hours have been very painful. It's like rolling the dice to see which joints the antibiotics will screw with each hour because it's never the same places all the time.
Received mine today. A pack of 2/0 EWG hooks Thanks Tokar.
I have been the same way, for some reason my throat has been terribly sore. And whenever I am awake I have a terrible headache. I hope it goes away before this weekend because I am supposed to be going down a river to go fishing. I'm going to try out the hooks then. Hope you get better.On 7/20/2012 at 11:55 AM, logan9209 said:I blame it on the postal service. For the last 2 months or so, I've been getting bills and notices after the due date.

I kinda got off topic, but because of the meds I can't remember when or if I said anything about being sick in other posts. I'm sure by now that I seem like a whiner. I'm just not used to going this long without at least fishing for an hour or 2. My fishing buddy knocked on the door this evening and I didn't even bother answering it. First, I've already explained to him what's going on 3 times. And second, if I had answered I probably would have went fishing and make matters worse for me.
Yeah I did to lol. I'll send you a PM or just post on the fishing trip part of the forum and show how I do with the hooks. I'm going to be using the 4/0 EWG paired with a baby brush hog. Get better man.
I got 1 pack of 1/0 ewg hooks the first time. I got a second package a couple of days ago with a pack of 5/0 monster ewg hooks. The two opposite end of the spectrum lol. I also got a sticker with the 5/0's
I would really like the sticker. I heard people say they did the survey and quiz, yet on there website I have only seen the quiz. No survey.
I think I did the quiz a couple of months ago...passed but never received a thing. Not complaining, mind you. A pity though, I wanted to give them a trial run.
Got my second pack in the mail today, same as last time, 5 pack of 4/0 magworn hooks. Oh and they included a sticker this time.
ETA: I signed up and did their quiz June 21st.... So a lil over a month for both packages
Waiting on my goods too. Got to love free stuff, and from a great company too!

Got mine today as well. 37 days to my door. Its kinda crazy, I was hoping for the 4/0 Magworm hooks and thats what I got!!
The package came in today and i got some 4/0 MAGWORM hooks with a sticker!
Got my stuff September 8th. I think I took that online survey about a week or 2 before my last post here. ~6 weeks.
Anyway, I got the 3/0 Worm hooks and a decal. Haven't used them yet but I'm sure they'll perform great. Thanks TroKar!
