Hi Jaba, not sure of the style of hook you are using, ie.long shank, suicide etc, but you could try recurve or "mutsu" hooks in the size you are using or a slightly smaller size. These are similar to longline hooks, and they are designed to turn when the bait is hit. Since I have been using these, all my fish have been caught in the mouth, by just lifting the rod rather than striking, works on both land base and boat fishing.
kind regards, Snowkiwi |
