If you're skin hooking the bait and still not hooking up, it may be your rod. It could be that it's not long enough to get good leverage or it's just not stiff enough to penetrate the hook into to fish's mouth. What kind of rod are you using?
a new twist, I used a Double Wide Beaver and turned it on it's side, took a knife leaving about 1/4 in at the nose cut the beaver to the split in the middle, and took a weighted wide gap hook and made it like a swim bait, leave the tail together, I use it for bedding fish and when the bass are running bluegill, sweet beaver will work also just go smaller on the hook! try it!!
