Preferred hook for live lining pogies

Sorry to hear about the dropped fish. If your hooks were not pulling or straightening, it's not the hooks .

I was afraid it was me I also think I might have had the drag too tight and that might have been part of it.

[blue oyster]

could it be the knots ?

[Piscator]

Oh no, sorry, Lost the fish but not the hook. Had the bigger fish on for a while and then bang, dropped him, reeled up and had all my gear, just no fish. Line didn't break or anything.

Sounds like you may have the drag set too tight, and just ripping the hook out of the fishes' mouths . If you're not near any obstructions, let 'em run a little to wear themselves out.
