<p>Carl, here's a pic of the lures that caught and lost fish last week .Notice the bigger sharper hooks on the Aglia #3(only 1 fish but no losses) The Sluggo hook is thick and I agree I should have sharpened (1 fish ,2 losses) The smaller Vibrax hook caught 3 ,lost 2 .I think I 'm gonna change that one to a bigger hook . Thanks for your input pal! I think there's more factors than the hook but am not denying it's huge importance . Unsecured hook set with wind putting slack in my line…</p>

Thanks for your input pal! I think there's more factors than the hook but am not denying it's huge importance . Unsecured hook set with wind putting slack in my line while trying to keep a fish on gives time for the fish to dislodge the hook . I remember multiple hook setting when I use to fish local Bass club tournaments use to help secure the fish .I really thought I had the Pickerel bending the rod good but when he got in deep water and the wind put slack in my line and perhaps I dropped the rod tip ,ahhh lost fish ! I saw it jump and the size so big disappointment . I'll suck it up LOL! <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2078527252?profile=original"><img width="721" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2078527252?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"/></a></p> AFTER READING YOUR EQUIPMENT…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2016-05-29:2036984:Comment:6775192016-05-29T20:03:29.259Zcarl hendrixhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/carlhendrix
<p>AFTER READING YOUR EQUIPMENT LIST;; NOTHING THERE THAT COULD LOOSE A GOOD FISH;; YOU HAVE SOME GREAT EQUIPMENT THERE BUDDY ! MY OPTION IS THE HOOKS THEMSELVES;; POSSIBLY TO DULL; OR TO SMALL;; NOT GAPED WIDE ENOUGH FOR PROPPER HOOK SETS ON THOSE BIGGER FISH YOU LIKE. A GOOD HOOK;; GOOD HOOK SET; SHOULD PUT FISH IN THE BOAT !</p>
