When minnow fishing in thick laydowns does hook size matter. Will smaller hooks 4 or 6 help with getting hung so much. I know lots of folks fish laydowns with a lot of different opions and that is what i want. Thanks

I think the minnow swimming around contributes to getting hung up.
I know it makes a difference on jigs but minnows will probably get you hung regardless.

Do you use wire hooks?
size 1 wire hooks
Increase your line test and bend the hooks loose.

I make all my hooks weed less, it is very easy.
I went to 15lb high vis braid with 8lb high vis leader and #2 lightwire hook and I don't break nearly as many. I have a swivel with quick change so when I do break the 8lb it is quick to fix back. I usually make up 50 or so extra (hook-line-swivel) so I can take one off and put one on with no retie on the boat.
Can we see a few of your weedless hooks? Do you notice any missed hook ups because of the weed guard.Quote:

I use a #2 lite wire hook and to keep the minnow from swimming I put my shot closer so it has to pull it to swim and that seems to help

I use 10lbs, with #2 hook, usually pulls out not much you can do to keep the minnow from getting you hung up, but you can pull it out.Quote:
