I drift fish with sandeels a lot and being a small bait the bass just suck them in and tend to gut hook themselves no matter how quick you set the hook. I went to circle hooks and I very rarely have that problem any more. I won't use anything else for that type of fishing. Might have to use a larger hook but I am sure you could incorporate it into your style of fishing.
