Hunting and Fishing in NJ - A forum for NJ Hunters and NJ Anglers

You'll get more hookups if you take a pair of needlnose pliers and open the hook gap slightly, on the the ones heavyier then 4ozs you may have to heat the bend a little as they seem to be more brittle and may snap. Also trim the hair down a little to avoid short hits.

I will try that next time ,to many swing and a miss.
