Thanks for the advise!
Hmmm that's pretty much what I do as well. The only thing I was told I was doing wrong was that I should Snell my hooks and not attach the hooks directly to a clip. Apparently the swinging circle hook won't catch as consistently and will come unbuttoned. I snelled a few hooks last night and will try them but if I continue dropping fish like I have done in the past I may just give up on them all together. (I really don't want to do that.)
