Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fish Hooks and BG

The way they work is the fish grabs the bait, turns to swim away and the hook tries to slide out of it's mouth, but the point usually catches in the corner of it's mouth as it's sliding out of it's mouth. You aren't supposed to "set the hook" like you do with regular hooks. Just let the line get tight and reel, don't set the hook. That's hard to unlearn, evem harder I imagine with lures.
