Picking The Right Hook | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Picking The Right Hook | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Selecting the correct hook when fishing soft plastic baits is a rather simple choice, but one that can dramatically impact your lure's action and your hooking percentage.

For Texas rigs, weightless Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs, there are a few basic guidelines that I follow. While you may find a different system works better for you, hopefully this will help you more critically evaluate your hook choice in the future."

Monster Fall Pan Fish

Monster Fall Pan Fish: "Bluegill and other sunfish are among some of most popular fish for anglers to catch.
