I've read that if you brine the clams, they will become leathery and stay on the hook.

Just get the hook into the toughest part and through them a few more times. If they’re somewhat fresh they will stay on if you cast with a high ark. They get mushy when older but I’ve never brined them.
If I remember right the Jersey guys tie them on with a bit of thread, you’ll hear them before you see them and if they give you any crap drop that you used to hang with Pauly D down Providence.
