LWD Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Greetings to you all, I used a fluke jr t-rigged as my bait today, the bass I was reeling in was holding onto it all the way up to the boat until it went under and got away. I looked at my fluke jr and it had appeared untouched except for a small cut. Why didn't the hook become exposed and hook the bass? I believe it was because I skin hooked my fluke jr too deep. I am guessing you got to bait it where it's barely skin deep. Or else the hook won't have a chance and it will stay buried in the skin. Thanks. LWD Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 8, 2011 Super User Posted July 8, 2011 Dinks usualy do this to me the rest always pop the point regardless if how deep it was in the plastic. A solid hookset woulda drove the point threw the rubber as well Quote
LWD Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 I should of had a solid hook set then. I'll try to keep that in mind thanks. Quote
NBR Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Are you using a wide enough gap hook so the plastic can get out of the way? Quote
