Hi all. I was just lazing around thinking about GT fishing again - does it ever end? All the seemingly positive hookups with subsequent losses came to mind. One of the theories is that the GT grabs the wood so hard that the hooks dangle both sides of his head and then he eventually spits it without hooking up. Would the belly hook on the swivel also hinder hooksets due to it spinning on impact with the outer mouth - if the fish didn't engulf the whole lure?! I have noticed far better hookups with wired belly attachments.
