    Re: cland fish

    Could you tell me what size bait and what size hooks you use? I have had several Largemouth hit my money minnow with a 4/0 but I can't hook them? Thanks

    put a treble hook on your main hook and it will greatly inprove hookups,but you still seem to miss some fish somehow

    Re: cland fish

    i think there are several issues.

    generally speaking 4-5" bait -> 4/0 or 5/0 hook
    treble hooks can help but are not fail proof and defeat the weedless rigging option
    consider swimbait hook sets as you do topwater -> ignore the initial attack and wait for the rod to load up (get heavy) before setting the hook. all too many times i have found that the fish seem to initially nip the tail before engulfing the lure. i have much better hookup rates by waiting for the heavy feeling. i must also say that i have yet to gut hook a fish on a swimbait with this "delayed" hook set.
    if fishing open water - consider a jig head with an exposed head as opposed to a swim bait hook with lead on the shank.
    lastly, l do not like the money minnow design. not knocking your bait but the extra "depth" at the head of the bait was less than ideal for me with regard to the weighted swim bait hooks. too much plastic to pull through for a hookset and i did not like the profile after rigging it. i prefer the more torpedo shaped swim baits.

    hope this helps and post back for any other ?
    good luck.

    hope this helps and let me know if i can help any other way.

    Re: cland fish

    The Money Minnow was just a impulse buy with no regard to design. What bait would you recommend? I have seen some smaller (thinner) styles that would accommodate the hooks I have and I think Cabin Creek sells them. Any recommendations on the bait would be appreciated. Thanks

    for all around versatility, little dippers are hard to beat. if looking for bigger profile -> big dipper -> both can be fished with traditional swim bait head and also with jig head. good color selection, fairly durable and reasonably priced. i also like the shadalicious 4.5"
