Glue interfering with hooksets.

As far as interfering with hooksets, it shouldn't. Then again, the toad is
notoriously tough to set the hook with to start with. Are you doing the
"texposed & tucked" routine, or actually burying the hook point in the
thick body?

Jeez Rich, don't you read Bassmaster? Quoting Tommy Martin, "Hold your rod
tip high; let him explode on it. Then lower your rod tip, and let him pull
the slack out of your line. Let him run 2 to 3 feet on it before you set the
hook; you will never miss one. They won't turn it loose."

How about that: the first lure with a 100% catch-to-strike ratio.

Or maybe Tommy was sniffing some of avid's glue?
