If you were bouncing up and down alot, when you went up, the minner would stay up as the sinker dropped down faster and below the Minner. It'd get hung up in it. Guess you had around a foot or more between your minner and the sinker so you had plenty of slack line. If that happens again. Just use a jig head n no shirt instead of just a hook. It'll drop down faster and not get hung in your Sinker
