When using powerbait i use a small trebel hook and haven't really had any problems with fish swallowing the hook. i rig it drop shot and try and grab the rod right away and set the hook quick. I've had them swallow it down inside their mouth but not in their stomach... I have been able to get out every hook this year. i went to a bigger sized trebel this year i cant remember what size... when I check ill update with what size i use.
i use those small trebel hooks with powerbait all the time, there ridiculously small and the trout swallow them down to their ***. needless to say they never fall off once you hook them
I don't use ones that small... they cant even swallow it and i always hook them beforehand anyway. Powerbaiting is boring I only do that once or twice before I pull the cover off the boat. I can troll and get a limit of bows and browns in an hour.
im with you on that one, trolling is much more fun, powerbait is a way of catching fish but its very skillless, and easy
still to early for bass fishing, i have a hotspot, and theres and 8+pound bass that turns his head to anything i send by him. there not ready to feed yet. metabolism is still to slow.
tried again today, sightfishing, bass everywhere, and they turn there head to anything they see. is still early the big bass wont hit a thing. i saw probally 10 bass and they were all big.
does your signature mean you like fat chicks?
