| Missed a good fish yesterday on a pounder that hit directly on the head and forward, usually miss 4 or more fish this way every fall, has anyone added a hook that would catch these fish? I've been thinking of just putting a short shank treble on the snap with the bait to keep the hook on top of the head? Do you think this would work or has anyone added a hook to the front of the bait with success? |

I wouldn't put it on the snap - a very weak link that a big fish could twist when hooked and break it. I would skip the snap and go with a split ring/solid ring leader and place the hook on the split ring. |

| Head hunters are usually good fish I've seen some guys really crack the rod when they get bite and still loose em. U can try to split ring a treble to the front eye of the dawg and burry a hook so the dawg looks like it has horns make sure if its al older one u cut the single hook on the dorsal to stay legal |
