The shield is not the problem.The problem is they never get it down cause the hooks are in the way..Now u have a large fish hooked outside it's mouth with small hooks.It's a catch 22..If u go larger than a 3/0 hook u'll kill the action in most surf conditions.Plus fouling becomes a problem.2/0 has a small gape an 3/0 while better is still small.Them expensive Owner stingers are a strong hook with a smallish shank.They are heavier than the 6x VMC's so u might loose some action also..
Use bigger hooks.Take ur chances with it fouling..Use a bigger plug with bigger hooks..Use the tail treble..U get one of them in the eye socket an ur golden..
I like em large with big hooks.Give me some good white water.
