how do you fish those little hooks during the fall run . Scary . I believe your hooking up good ,,but what size fish ? Don't you guys straighten hooks out ? I've lost fish on 3/0 straightened belly hooks easily.. Main reason I don't fish a mustad under 4/0 . VMC for me . Maybe its me because my drag is socked down so tight .. I don't let the fish run all around the rocks if I can help it . I like a 17a bomber,,,7" redfin,, magnum rapala,, decent hooks on those at least . Are these little baits fall run baits, where you might hook up the fish of your life ?
While on the subject these "Lefty" type baits swim the nuts, but the little hooks scare me there too . I'm not a sandman ,, I can't afford to play a fish . and I'm not even catching NIB fish ..
