Never heard of this being an issue. I use light wire Gamakatsu #4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks.
-
Sounds great!
-
Sure... My buddy is running the trolling motor up font. He casts forward with weight. A bit later I cast over with no weight. No harm, no foul.

Well now...

I have a similar problemi, my fish seem to be stunted at 6 lbs or so. The ponds produces few 10+, but most of the bigger fish are 6-8 lbs. Yesterday and today we did a little better.

Give Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 a try. The breaking strength is 11.9 lbs.

For enthusiasts, technique specific gear is fun to collect. However, three rigs cover all the basics: #1 6 1/2' or 7' MH baitcaster for jigs, some soft plastics and spinnerbaits #2 6 1/2' or 7' MM baitcaster for treble hook lures #3 7' MF spinning rod for lighter lures and a variety of techniques

Not so fast, there maybe a better alternative. My daughter has just completed her Master's program at the University of Memphis. Classes can be be arranged at night and/or weekends in any major town, especially if you enroll in a thesis program. Look into this a little harder, you don't need to quit your job to get the degree.

Great trip, nice pic!

I like to fish several ponds around here.

I have caught two in 14 years on the Tennessee River. Neither of them were exceptional.

Caught a 9 and two 5+ this morning on 5" Senkos.

Every thing that I might use in Plano plastic boxes. The "reserve" in my Man Cave on a post board.

Verticale hook, just like the Rage Rig.

Buy retail, from our sponsors direct or on the Flea Market

The Performa XT got a great review on BR from J Francho:

This is red hot for me right now: NorthStar Original Swim Jig (bluegill)/ Rage Tail Shellcracker (green pumpkin sapphire)

I gave Mr. Swabby a spool of Tatsu #15 and a couple of THOUSAND yards of Yo-Zuri Hybrid away last May. I'm fishing Tatsu, Tuf-Line and Kanzen for the rest of this year. So far, so good. Next RoadTrip I hope we can give everyone a few spools of Tatsu.

Funny you bring this up. Mike did some upgrades for me which I had to downgrade! I didn't like the noise from dry ceramic bearing so I added a drop of oil, The performance may not be 100% of potential, but it's WAY BETTER than just "good enough".

Try Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4, .009 diameter, 8.5 lb breaking strength. I brlieve the line is MUCH stronger. The fish in my avatar were caught on #4 Hybrid as well as this fish on the RoadTrip last year: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/lake-guntersville-2012.html

If you are fishing a standard baitcaster, not designed for light presentations, stick with a 3/8 oz jig and trailer. The trailer will dictate the rate of fall. The Rage Tail raw is slow, the Lobster is MUCH slower.
-
Probably just the time of year. You have caught them shallow, but higher temperatures may have pushed them deep.
