Part of the learning process. 
The only problem I've had with hooking them the way I do is that once in a while the hook will turn and the point will embedd itself into the eels body, maybe this will eliminate that problem. |
Dave, that is a huge reason to try this way, Its hard to explain but I will try.Once A bass hits the eel, the way I hook them, the eel rides right up the line! if you notice the way its hooked you can picture what I mean, the bass kind of pushes the eel off the hook and up the line it goes, leaving just the hook solidly hooked in the fish.Once landed just slide the eel back down on to hook again, I used to get that also where on the hookset, I would bury the hook back into the eel, no more........
