We had the same problem last time. The Apex was the worst; I have always had poor ratios with them. Best percentage was with micro hootchies. What was really frustrating was two nearby boats that didn't even have nets. Just swung 'em in; didn't lose one that we saw! We have been loosening the drag to the extreme. I don't want to slip it in neutral with d/r's out. We just drop it down all the way. Set the drag so it even plays out part of the time with an 11-12"er. Should help. That and snubbers, of course.
