Used the plain Aberdeen and pushed the plastic Minnow up above hook eye yesterday, no stolen baits .Plenty of Bluegills caught . The long shank and pinched barb  of the #6 facilitated the one hand release.

Carl, another solution may be ;using plain hook and pushing bait up the shank over hook eye ,(no inhibiting collar) perhaps then adding a small shot .

I may have to use a thin gauge Guitar string piece and do that Carl .Thanks!

JOHN;; ANOTHER TRICK;; IVE LEARNED FROM BBG SITE;; TAKE A -- PAPER CLIP;;  WRAP  ONE END AROUND THE JIG HEAD;; MEASURE ; ABOUT A 1/3 ?? TO 1/2 ?? LENGTH  DOWN THE HOOK;; THEN;; MAKE A ; ( L ) TRIM THE CLIP OFF  INSERT THE ;; ( L)  INTO THE PLASTIC BAIT  SUPPOSE TO HOLD THE BAIT WELL;;; IVE NEVER TRIED IT MYSELF;; BUT-- THEROILAGY;; SOUNDS GOOD !  ALTHO; IN MY OPPINION;; IT WOULD LEAVE; A SILVER STREAK; DOWN ONE SIDE !            JUST A THOUGHT  THO !!

These are small baits not sure the bait will swim well with those .I can see for larger Twister tails Bass baits where that would work though Carl.

Been catching pan fish with the 1" minnow but at one point they were getting stolen off the jig head hook  a lot . Any suggestions on keeping that Gulp minnow on the hook . I am thinking the collar on the jig head I'm using isn't helping any.

AGE OLD QUESTION THERE JOHN;; JUST WHEN DO YO U;; ( SET THE HOOK ) WHEN THE FLOAT GOES DOWN; AND  NOT MISS THE FISH ! LOLOL  BUT JUST THINK;; IF WE CAUGHT; EVERY FISH; WE TRIED TO CATCH;;  WOULDNT IT GET-- BORING ??   ITS   A HUGH PART; OF MAKING US KEEP COMING BACK !  LOL

When to set the hook when floats down ,that is the question .Missing fish especially when long casting from shore in April .Catching too though .
