@@TylerNashan I'm right. I had the same issue when I was using weedless hooks for wacky and niko rigging. I moved the wire on top of the barb and my hook % improved.
@@fishingangler4315 that’s the whole point of the weed guard is to guess the hook from weeds.the guard laying on top does nothing if ur going to put it on top just use a normal wacky hook.or just set the hook harder u losing fish is user error
@@TylerNashan Oh yeah, set the hook harder. I never thought of that! Of course I did genius! That did nothing but lead to more frustration. Look at a freeze frame @2:58. Wire behind the barb pins the wire at the barb. It wont move at hookset because the wire is pinned. If you put it above the barb it will allow the wire to move into the hook gap and allow penetration because the wire will move inward and out of the way. It still provides protection against weeds because the profile of the wire sticks out over the hook and allows it to slide over it. I use them all the time because where I fish there is tons of sticks and branches underwater and an open hook will get snagged too often.
1- Super glue will hold your skirt in place. 2- Scissors will cut your tentacles to a length that matches your hook size. Looks like a cool lure. I'm going to buy a couple and experiment with them. This lure series is a good one. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Looks like a wacky wall walker , you know , them kids toys were you throw them on a wall & they stick then roll down the wall , I use to have bunches of them things when I was a kid & their almost made that same way , I,ll bet you one of the wacky wall walkers would work like this .
I use to miss hooksets because I hook side ways like you were doing it you have it pull it straight up so the hook will hook,you’re pulling the bait out the mouth
What's up Brendan nice to see a new fishing video of your nice lure i have never seen this bait 👍🎣 happy fishing how have you been how has fishing been 🎣 that bait kinda looks like a octopus 🐙 this bait would be great for Pier fishing 🎣
Even if they had used 3 of those hooks arranged in their jig like a treble it would of done so much better, I like that it got you bites but that hook is obviously not the correct set up for something of that size.
I would put a dab of super glue on the jig head then slide the plastic up onto it. Another reason you are missing bass is that wire weed guard. I had some wacky hooks with wire weed guards that had me miss multiple fish. I took some pliers cut off the wired weed guard and started landing fish.
I THINK THE ORIGINAL HOOK WASN'T NECESARY THE PROBLEM, I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE HOOK GUARD. GO AHEAD AND CUT IT OFF AND TRY IT LIKE THAT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

You're using the weed guard wrong. Don't lock it behind the barb. The wire should lay on top of the barb.
Ur wrong

Spot on. Common mistake. I made it for a while until figuring out what you said. It’s gotta be on top of the barb

I get so excited every time you make a new video, your videos are the best and most satisfying fishing content I can think of!
Brendan is underated, love the videos bro. I see a lot of the effort you put in to make the content
you could probably slide on a treble or single hook over the barb of the hook like a stinger

Glue the skirt. Stick a trailer hook on it also might help
I use to miss hooksets because I hook side ways like you were doing it you have it pull it straight up so the hook will hook,you’re pulling the bait out the mouth
Can you please do more pike fishing!
i feel like you could finesse a knot around it to fix it so it stops slipping.
you could've used super glue to glue down the skirt and add a hook trailer to the end
Love this channel. I agree about super glue I use it all the time. Thanks for the video.
Should try super glue....glue the plastic to the jighead
That is a mutant creepy crawler...
Im trying the eurotackle UL platics this weekend, hope to catch some panfish
Needs a stinger treble by the look of it

It's a lure

Hook size is key.
Another great video ++
Those weed guards are terrible and make you miss. I would rip it off completely and forget weedless!
It looks like something LunkerHunt would make😂
SCENTS do Work.
when a plain lure is
Getting No Results.
and sometimes a trailer
hook over a single hook reduce missed strikes. (not treble)
I really like watching your channel do more
So great to see more content here love yer videos
Love this series!!

You're using the weed guard wrong. Don't lock it behind the barb. The wire should lay on top of the barb.
Another new banger🔥
Maybe throw a trailer hook on the original lure and super glue the skirt in place? Would be curious if that would help but you got it to work!
