i feel your pain. had a fish inhale my plug last night and then rip off 40 yards of braid. i felt the first set of trebles pull free and knew i was in trouble. 10 seconds later the line went slack. that was the only hit i had all night. damn crushed barbs  |

on the bombers , swap out the hooks to vmc size 1
you can use 2 or 3 if You like and also 2 1/0 vmc's
m&d's sells triple splits and u can swap out to those also
not saying ya do ,but never touch the drag and maybe Ya got a tad bit more pressure, You can get away with it if you know how to pay lind drop rod for the runs/ pulls
also when a fish bust on top give the fish line( drop rod while maintainin pressure or You will rip the hooks out
If You fish wood like dannys pikes on top, let the bass pull the rod down in other words let the fish dig in and turn this i see is a big problen with alot of people missin fish

Huh? I'm not getting this. What size VMC's on the bombers? 1,2,3? 2 1/0?
I'm confused. |

Bassmaster confuses lots of people 
i think he means size one hooks and you can use one or two, meaning you could remove the belly hook and just leave a front hook and a tail hook. |

1 or 1/0 seem small on a long A magnum. I think they match up pretty well w/Mustad 2/0 or 3/0 I forget which.
Why downsize the hooks w/VMC's? |

I use 3/0 VMC 4x's on magnum bombers, the 1/0 vs 1 is the smaller ones, use 1 1/0 VMC instead of 2 size 2 hooks on the belly,..
