Again, I am not much of a bass fisherman but the subject came up the other day and I wanted to discuss it here.
I was talking to stretch about how I have lost more fish on a crankbait or jerk bait than all others combined.
He was explaining how with two or three hooks on a bait the hooks kind of work against each other as the fish struggles.
I just don't understand how they can get a facefull of 3 treble hooks and get off. :bash:
So my question is, if you were going to go to the trouble and expense of replacing the treble hooks on a crankbait or jerkbait, what would you use?
Or, is it not worth the trouble?
I am thinking something bigger and better quality?
