I mostly bass fish with texas rigged plastics and "tune" my hooks as well except in a different way. The way i do it is twist the "J" part of the good to side so that the point and eye do not line up. This way, your pull point in not directly in line with the spot where you have the fish hooked. Traditionally you'd be pulling straight out and tearing a bigger hole eventually make it so the barb can come out. But by twisting it, your "augering" the hook deeper in the fish.
