Minnow Help ?

Have noticed that some say to hook minnows through eyes . I hook them through the lower lip . Is this a ford/Chevy thing or a reason or situation that this matters ?

Single poling I always hook thru the bottom lip.I think it looks more natural,but i'm gonna try hooking thru the eyes while trolling this year.Some swear by it.

I hook them thru the eyes. Always have, no real reason other than that's how my pops always did

It's a ford/chevy thing!

I do it both ways, but mostly through the eyes.

Hooked thru the eyes they will not get knocked off as easy.....also when hooked thru the eyes they flutter trying to get straight and that movement attracts fish.

What G said. I do it both ways

Your leaving yourself wide open with that statement lol.

When you get busy the eyes are faster.

Best way is where they will stay on good. I always put the hook through the lips. But after having a guy catch more then I did and his was throught the eye's. Well I swapped and still got beat.:dono
