I've been using the "Can't Miss" style handles for 20+ years and would never go back to the dog bone. Matt starting sending out the Blades with the "Can't Miss", but too many people complained and he went back to the dog bones. I'm not sure why some people do not like the "Can't Miss" style, but I don't miss having a metal object flying at my face. Plus, I get a better feel of securing the hook before I push my butt over the side.
