I would try a 4/0 EWG hook...also melt a small piece of shrink wrap on the shank of the hook where it bends..this will help keep the tube from sliding down onto the hook during the hook set.

the fish could have been simply moving ur tube out of their bed.

I had same problem on Ky lake friday had two big fish come to the top and spit a finesse jig out. I was using seven ft spinning reel and just could not move the jig in the fish's mouth. I switched to a bait casting heavy action.

dump the eagle claw hooks,i tried them in the wide gap for sometime and they just don't hook up as good even with regular plastics,go with a 4\0 gamagatsu or the cicle hook by matzuo,had good luck with both,my partner uses the eagle claw and loses a lot of fish,,sometime i think a big fish can inhale a jig or texas rig and actually bite down so when you jerk the head or sinker takes the pressure on their gums while the hook is still flopping in the
bucketmouth...after you jerk they can just drop it..does anyone know if you can still get the cicle hook??
