i switched from a VMC wacky weedless circle hook to the gamakatsu wicked wacky hook and my hookup percentage is way better. I always let the fish run with the worm for maybe 2-3 seconds before I lightly set the hook. Seems to be working better for me now.

thanks a lot everyone

ok, well then my question is, is this considered a circle hook? It looks like one to me but I'm not sure

I was reading online that you aren't supposed to set the hook with circle hooks, but rather to just start reeling. I found that interesting because I was having some difficulty keeping bass hooked today (with setting the hook). Does anyone else not set the hook if they are using a circle hook for wacky rigged senkos? Thank you.

Thank you all for your answers. Sounds like I would be fine as long as I don't drive like a nut on windy days.

I am wondering if any of you have fished out of a Lund renegade 1775 on bigger bodies of water (5,000 acres). I am looking to buy my first fishing boat but I am not really sure what I want. I mainly fish bass in shallow water but occasionally will try panfish or walleye. I like the mod V boat because I fish a lot of small lakes with poor boat launches. How does the renegade do on some bigger lakes? I know it's not ideal, but would it be safe to have this boat out occasionally on larger lakes? The other boat I am looking at would be a Lund Impact, but I feel like the renegade would work better for me most of the time. Thank you.
