Hookset, have you had more success with the jighead?

Hook points are straight and sharp. Can't figure it out. Never had the problem with unpegged weight. I just like the way the screw-in works through the brush.

I'm fishing brushpiles in 15-20ft depth. Using 10 - 11 inch worms, 5/0 Gamakatsu sharp hooks, 5/16 Lake Fork tungsten screw-in weights. I'll get a good solid hook set, get 'em half way in and they'll come off. When I get the worm in, the worm/hook have not moved. I rig them Texposed with the tip barely coming out of the worm. I even caught one, got him in the boat, them he came off. When I looked at the worm, the hook wasn't even through the worm. I don't know how I landed him. Of course, this doesn't have constantly but it does happen too often. Is it the screw in weight? I like using them to get into brush and grass. Can anyone help?

I have one for the engine and one for the trolling motor. If i hook everything to the cranking battery, would the lights and 2 sonar units run the cranking battery down? Would it help to connect the 2 batteries together?

I have a cranking/deep cycle battery and a deep cycle trolling battery (both everstart) in my boat. What battery should I hook my electronics to? (2 sonar, aereator, bilge, lights, etc.) Just want to get the most out of my batteries.

When fishing Senkos, I only use fluorocarbon. Mono floats, but fluorocorbon sinks. It's also invisible under water and has great hook-setting power because it has very low stretch. Be sure you let them run with the bait before setting the hook. Don't let them run too long, they'll swallow a Senko.

'Bassin' definitely has a lot more information. I really enjoy reading the tournament techniques section in 'Bassmaster' though. And also "A Day on the Lake with ..."
