Pencil Poppers hook up ratio

[texican]

On my Gibbs I swap out the hooks with VMC. They are much sharper. Back hook I like to put a single hook with a feather or a small amount of bucktail.

Thanks, I like that suggestion. Do you find that fish have a tendency to get off with poppers? Stripers mostly hit the front hook it seems. Maybe I should not crush the barbs down on the front.
