I assume you are skin hooking them?

Bass assassins are my favorite soft jerkbait, I fish them on a 6 6 med
heavy rod with 30lb stren braid on my scorpion, I use almost exclusively

4/0
red gammy wide gaps, If I start getting short strikes where they are
folloowing and just nipping I switch to a 5/0 offset lunker city hook.

The
red hooks combined with the baby bass colored assassins has been a
consistent producer for me and has been responsible for most of the

bigger
fish I have caught in the past year or two. Would take a bass assassin

over
just about any super fluke, IMO

What hook do you normally use for soft thick bodied jerk baits like

Bass
Assassins?

Do you fish it with an exposed point and some form of weed guard? Do

you
fish it Texas rigged or skin hooked?
