Like Carl I like the GAMAs as well I use a 6/0 or 5/0 when they are finicky. I use it stricky chunking macks. All the fish I caught this season 99.8% of the fish are hooked in the corner of the mouth. The trick to it is keeping in contact with the bait at all time. I also use a braided line that has no stretch so you can feel the smallest touch. Anyways, I usually hold my rod up and when I d=feel the fish pick up the bait I drop my rod tip slowly, then gently lift it. Sometimes after i have them on I geive them a little tug just in case I am in the tough part of their mouth. Another tip is use fluorocarbon leader makes a big difference. Just ask The Chunker of Death. By the way has anyone heard from Bill lately?
