My experience shows that 90% of big Bass are headhunters. They take the front treble and there is a reason. Baitfish hve sharp dorsal fins. Bass don't have teeth to chop the baitfish so if they grab it from the back, they can't swallow it because of the dorsal spines.

I make all my own swimmers, poppers and needles and always put a 5/0 or a 6/0 Siwash on the back. never lost a big bass because of the rear hook.

No boat, back in the suds.
