Pencil Poppers hook up ratio

I'm a big fan of pencil poppers save one aspect: the hook up ratio is pretty good but I always seem to derop fish on them! I also like how most bass you get on the pencil are pretty big.

What can I do to improve the landing ratio on the pencil popper? I mostly favor the gibbs. Should I swap out the hooks that come with it for some other brand of trebles? Sharpen the hooks like crazy?

I have been crushing the barbs down, maybe thats my problem. I also wonder if I have been foul hooking a lot of my fish with it. The other day I lost a fish and reeled in a large scale impaled on the hook.
