I second the heavier tackle. I lost a couple the first year or so i was seriously fishing. I juiced up all the tackle, and now when i lose em its more of an act of god. Pulled hook, bad luck on a rock, or like this fall on block, geting blind sided by a monster wave while fighting a fish and losing tension.
Use of single hook. Very rarely will you drop a big bass on a single J style hook ala, using live eels , rigged eels, bucktails , shads, rigged sluggo, and fin-s fish etc. Treble hooks on plugs are a nightmare. Ratio of landed big fish with these is not good. Heavier tackle also helps.
