Stop losing lures with better hook choices 🪝

Been experimenting with different hook setups lately after losing way too many lures to rocks and kelp. Here's what I've figured out through trial and error: When I'm fishing rocky/shallow/reef areas, I've switched to inlines with points angled slightly inward - saves me so many snags compared to trebles. For fast predators with big mouths (think bass, pike), inlines actually work better than trebles in my experience. But smaller-mouthed fish or those that just nip at baits? Trebles definitely give better hookup rates. Straight inlines have the best overall hookup ratio, but that includes hooking every rock and weed too! What’s your experience? Which hooks do you swear by in tricky spots? #fishing #fishingtips #lurefishing #anglerlife
