Default Why I hate beaked hooks

I am guessing that the pic was a drop shot bass. I have very little
experience with drop shotting. Do you always use such a small hook?


Right on the DS, and when using light drop shot gear and small lures, I
usually use a hook slightly smaller (and a lot thinner wire) than that
hook. Only reason I used those was I got 'em to test and I was out of my
prefered drop shot hook. There's really no need for a bigger hook when drop
shotting in reasonably open water with light line.

But when I go 'Bubba shot' fishing, in the weeds or in the barges at the
hudson, I use a 3/0 Texposer. (Check out the article in the Aug. In-Fish)
