Default Hiding worm hooks. - Another option

"Bob La Londe" wrote in message

Another option don't think anybody mentioned specifically. Use a hook with
a weed guard. I have found that I have a problem with neavy body jerk baits
just sliding right out of a fishes mouth due to the amount of force needed
to force the hook through the rubber. My cousin Jeff and I were fishing
Bass Assassins in heavy weeds back in July of this year and I rigged him up
with an exposed point seeup on a hook with a wire weedguard. He caught
several fish on that rig.


I just ordered some Case Sinkin Salty Minnows. They are basically a
smaller, saltier version of Zoom Super Flukes. I'm hoping that their
reduced size and slightly softer texture will make it easier to set
the hook. Plus with a small hook I can hide it in the "belly" of the
minnow.
