I know I came across something like this one day when I was doing some research, and I'm having trouble finding it again. The question here is.. When I'm working Texas rig, is there anyway the bullet weight can affect a hook set? Wether it be the bass gulped up the weight when she sucked in the lure, causing her to open her mouth when the hook is set from the weight pounding on the inside of her mouth, or the weight to heavy that you really only whip the weight up vs actually whipping on the hook? I mean honestly I have been fishing Texas rig all my life and of course I have missed more fish than i can count (I can say the same about how many I've caught) but if there was an actual reason potentially behind the weight on why I could have missed a handful of those that got away? So if you have heard of anything like this please spin me up on it! And I know of a hundred other reasons on why there could have been a failed hook set, just want to know if the weight, or position of the weight affected it at all! Thank you!

I'm new to this forum, but not new to bass fishing! I grew up bass fishing! I fished religiously throughout high school challenging myself to catch at least one fish once a day and see how many days in a row I could do it, my personal record was 39 days, planing on beating it. I was born and raised bass fishing East Texas but the military has me in Eastern Washington, a whole new kind of bass fishing, so we will see how this plays out! Non the less I'm out on the lake as much as possible trying to learn the new water out here!
