HooKS?
I once was fishing in a tourney, and for the life of me I regret that day. I was fishing a frog, something like Yums buzz'n frog and man 1st fish wam I set the hook and nothing, 2nd fish kaboom wait wait feel the weight of the fish set the hook and nothing. this went on for four. Yes 4 hours of and eight hour tourney. I was mad and everything and so I wanted to find out what I was doing wrong. My partner switched to a Zoom horny toad and couldn't get bit for nothing. I made up my mind to see what went wrong and it all let up to my hook. It was a gammy 5/0 I think maybe 4/0. In retrospect I should have added a trailer hook but I became so unravelled. I went to the local Tackle store and got some Owner Extra wide, Wide Gaps. Been catching every thing that hit my from. Everything. I learned then and there that I have to up my hook game. I still use gammys but I pay close attention to what lure and hook combo I use.
What about you, ever had something like this happen to you? What hooks do you use the most and for what applications or what type of hook (make, model, manufactor) do you use in various techniques.
