Thanks for those tips esshup.
For some of us, fishing has been a relatively recent addition to skills.
I have personally found that I have a lot higher catch rates using a small hook. I like a 1/32 or 1/64 oz jig hook for catching BG.
When we have some family get together with lots of kids that have little fishing experience or have never fished, invariably their parents will have a great big hook on any fishing gear they have brought. They are not catching fish while the others that I have given home made cane poles with the small hook are pulling in one fish after another. I switch the hook out for them and they go to catching fish.
Now big fish? That I have little experience catching because I am usually fishing for BG.
