Hook Up versus Hook Down
I tied a couple of stealth Bombers and Dahlberg Divers reversed with the hook up to be weed free so I can drag it across all the weeds that ring the pond I fish.
HOWEVER - I had 6 or 7 missed LMB strikes using these...I even counted to three and did a strip set and still lost them. I could tell I had them on for at least a couple of seconds, but they got off.
Does anyone ever have the same issue? What do you do to get hook sets?
It was most frustrating to have these bass hit and not be able to set the hook.
THANKS!!!
Thank God for my wife, the midge nymph and those hapless Iowa Hawkeyes!
