I have my own mold.I use 7/0 an 8/0 hooks.
Like i said many times I will put 2 on.If ur snaggn to drop an fish this is fine.A large fish will eat this setup no problem an the extra weight helps to get em down.Somewhat.\
Like goose said reeling fast till u feel the bump is the way to go.
I have caught large fish on bunker that I have snagged with a pencil popper.I remember the first time it happened I was popping thru a school of bait when the plug snagged a bait an would not work.I was dissapointed for a second then I thought ok, lets see.The second I took the line off thr roller the bait got eaten.
The fish had the whole works down..
If I am snagging to collect bait I will make a snatch rigg.3 snelled inline 6/o light wire treble hooks bout 12"s apart with a 2 once bank sinker on a clip on the end.Have a bucket to bleed em out in then to the livewell. Change the water in the bucket every bloody bait.Blood clogs there gills an kills em off fast Tail hooked baits go on ice.They just bleed like a stuck pig when tail hooked.Try not to handle em too much this takes the slime off.Bass can tell when the slime is gone.an might shy away from unslimey baits..If there are fish in with the bait put the snatch rigg away an thro a pencil popper.
