First I’ll say great video, always great finding new steelhead content - but I am a bit curious how often the fish are getting hooked in the pec fins or under the chin with that 4 inch gap from the beads.

[@tomaszsmolka3737]

I only say this cus I’ve seen fish like that hen with the messed up gill plate get srsly damaged just by getting hooked in unfortunate places around their head vs in the jaw. Have a friend who bead fishes rip two lips off his fish while they were in the net, shortens his gap didn’t happen again.

Hey tomaszsmolka3737 sorry for the later reply, I haven’t been crazy active on here lately just because I haven’t been out on the water much since steelhead season. I appreciate your advice, but I do have to say that I haven’t had any issues with poor hook placement yet. I’ve increased the length from 2-3 finger lengths to about 3,3.5,4 finger lengths just because I had issues before of setting the hook on a fish, feel the weight, and lose the fish because of a poor hook set. After increasing the length by that little bit I have noticed less amount to poor hook sets. Like you said I probably should lessen the length back down to 2-3 finger lengths and it would probably be better for me now that I am going into my second year of Centerpin fishing. I’m glad you enjoy the content and I hope you stick around because I will be back on the water here soon and will be posting again and hopefully more. Thanks again! -Dakota
