The hook was fine it was actually the sinker that was snagging the weeds most of the time, even though it was a bullet style sinker. I was surprised because I thought it would go through pretty easily.
Another question I have is how the hell are you supposed to hook the fish with T-rigged worm? It seems like the hook point being embedded in the plastic like that would require you to do a crazy powerful hookset just to get the hook out of the plastic and into the fishes mouth. I was hoping I could get some solid strikes on it so I could experiment but got nothing more than a couple tugs.
As for the crankbait thing, I'm open to any other suggestions for fishing that submerged timber. I'll give the crankbait thing a try but it seems like it would be challenging to aim the lure right at the trees like that unless the conditions were very calm. Keep in mind I don't have years of experience casting here
.
Also any thoughts on why my lure was getting tangled so much? I got sick of seeing my lure spinning in circles on the reel in rather than being down deep shakin all over the place.
