Nice video thank you. I also had issues with worms on a hook staying. So I came up with my own hook. Instead of cement and sand, get a soldering iron and some thin wire and solder a small L like part of it to the top of the hook shaft. Make the top wire angle out a little and the rest flat with the hook where it gets soldered to the hook. When you slide the worm over it, the worm will stay put. I've made many and they work great. 😊

Some people call it clam string. It's an elastic thread used to tie bait onto hooks. You don't need to make knots. Just wrap it while stretching it and it stays wrapped.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I have braided line spooled on my reel. While bait fishing with circle hooks I have the drag set real loose. When I see a fish is on I tighten it up a little, keeping the drag set for fighting, then sweep the rod over to the side to allow the circle hook to set. Then, keeping the line tight, I proceed to fight the fish and reel it in. I very rarely lose a fish. Thank you for your response and please enjoy my videos.

I'm experimenting with circle hooks as I'm uncomfortable with 2 trebles on a pike trace. I've missed every run so far despite waiting until its well on its way before tightening down. That's 7 fish lost. They hang on for up to 20 seconds before spitting the bait. Think you have highlighted my bad practice in hook positioning. I'll fish today and see if your advice results in hook ups. I'm not going back to trebles on deadbaits.
@baysidedave996211 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. I hope you are successful in catching fish. Just remember, with circle hooks, you don't set the hook. Apply tension and begin reeling in. The hook will grab the lip or the jaw and set itself. If you try to set the hook by jerking your rod, you may pull the hook right out of the fishes mouth.

@@baysidedave9962 I have been lure fishing mostly since posting the above but since I had 3 takes and 1 hook up. So, my technique is improving. Amusingly I had 3 baits out about 5 meters apart on acanal and I think it was the same fish that went from rod to rod as all were within 5 minutes of each other. 9lb but I'll take that over a chewed up chunk of mackerel :)

Look at the South African method of the dingle dangle rig. It's a hair rig that presents the bait under the circle hook and allows you to present large baits without masking the hook. It can be simply tied with dacron or thick braid or elaborate wire setups for toothy fish. Use it for almost all of my surf fishing now and never deep hook fish.

I decided that because when people view this in the future for the sake of learning how to use circle hooks, they won't get mislead incase the regulation no longer exists. But you are correct, in-line or non-offset hooks is the 2021 regulation for using bait to catch stripers.

Just curious, how do you set the hook on a circle hook when you have the rod in a rod holder on the beach. Do you set the drag really loose and let the fish run for a little bit, then tighter the drag, and reel fast while still in the rod holder to set the hook? Or do you tighten the drag and leave it in the rod holder for the fish to set the hook by itself? Or lastly, do you leave the drag tight, pick the rod out of the holder and side sweep to hook the fish? Thank you in advance for the advice
@baysidedave99626 ай бұрын
I loosen up my drag while the rod is in the sand spike. A bait runner reel is a great tool for this type of fishing. When the fish takes the bait and starts running, remove the rod from the spike and tighten up the drag enough to fight the fish. Take care not to tighten the drag all the way. Keep the rod tip low and perpendicular to the surf and begin reeling in. The circle hook will set itself in the jaw or lip of the fish as the rig slides out of the fishes throat. If you try to do a traditional hookset, you will pull the rig right out of the fishes mouth. Keep the line tight while fighting the fish until you land it. Good luck to you sir!

Dental floss works to tie bait to hook. I used circle hooks successfully on any species that typically picks up bait and swims off and as video stated letting fish set hook while in holder or by winding line not jerking rod. Thanks for the tying tip. I m sure I missed some by not leaving enough hook exposed. One thing I found with circle hooks, while they differ in setting a J style hook , once set very few become dislodged and I never brought in a gut or gill damaged fish. Most will be hooked in corner of jaw. Awesome video.
@larrychrzan21312 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dave for the informative video. I have a question about the hooks. I know that you are required to use inline hooks. But what about the choice of the eye - straight eye or bent eye? For the bunker chunk, you used a bent eye circle hook. For the other baits, you used straight eye hooks. How do you select between straight eye and bent eye? Thanks in advance for your reply. Tight lines!
@baysidedave99622 жыл бұрын
It all depends on how you tie your hook on to the line. If you snell the hook, the bent eye is best. If you use a uni knot or clinch knot type then the straight, inline eye is best. I was told if you snell the hook with the straight eye, bringing the line through the front of the hook, (the side that the point is facing), that under pressure during the hook-up the line forces the hook to turn in and hook-up better. I gave that a try on a few rigs and didn't notice any difference. I guess it's all personal preference. Good luck to you.

Smaller fish will bite off the bait on any hook. Big fish take the whole bait including the hook. I have been using circle hooks for years and since I started using them I catch more fish. If fish are stealing your bait change to smaller hooks and baits for the possibility of catching them. Good luck to you and thank you for watching my video.

It is a very thin but stong. You just wrap around your bait and pull to snap. No tieing or fancy wrapping. You can buy cheap from amazon. Most comes from china but it comes fast for me. A roll lasts a long time too. If ya get a roll with no case, just put it in a narrow pill bottle with a small hole in the lid to allow the string to come out. This way the end is always available so you wont have to find it on a slimey roll every time you bait up.
