big Neil Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Could only suggest putting the hook through a bit more so the point is exposed. Will have a small impact on snagging but may get more hook ups sticking. Give it a go and see. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingyjohn Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Okay cheer lost 4 fish and lures today but landed 2 decent fish and yeah I’ve been doing that once I get a strike and I miss it I push the hook out and normally hook the but they are busting me off on 4 lb so I might have to upgrade my line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Are you striking at the fish when you get a hit? When fishing surface you have to not strike at all & wait until you feel the weight of the fish through the line. Striking at them pulls the lure away from them more often that not. Ohh, & well done on those fish. Great size at 40cm. Well done. Edited March 19, 2018 by Jewhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yep good point that Jewhunter makes re striking. Good sized fish there mate, something must be working. Keep making changes and it will all come together. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rah Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I personally use 10 or 12lb leader on bass. This is to also help with wayward casts. Hasn't seemed to affect catch rate. Nice fish at 40cm mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
