You need to rare back on them when you set the hook. Dont sweep the rod, set it like you would if you were fishing a jig and you’re hookup ratio will improve.
I just got a pack of 12 and I have gotten some solid fish on it Yes I get more bites but I also lose more fish .. maybe there's gotta be a wag we can open up the hook. A bit more .
Hey man, I'm curious why you don't set the hook? They inhale that bait whole and you need to pop it to get it moving forward in their mouth to get that hook in em. Otherwise it's in their mouth closed and when you reel, they just open their mouth and spit the bait. Try popping that bait harder and see if your hookups don't get better.
They jump off on me all the time is the hook just hard to set or what ? I slam bass all day on my ned no problem but I been having problems with the sleeper, bass love em tho
Once you set the hook, hold the rod tip much higher. When the rod is pointed at the fish, there is no flex (action) in the rod. The rod should be a shock absorber not allowing the fish to shake the hook when there is slack.

I only been fishing for a little over a year and even I notice he had a weak hook set
Hes using a pretty heavy rod guys if he cranks back like your saying he will pull the hook right outa the fish
Shawn is right set the hook.
Those baits work but snag up easy and fish bite the tails right off.
You pick a great day to be on the Lake no one around, I was there in the first of Aug and that place was CRAZY Off Season is Nice.
Looks like a great bait, I'm gonna have to get a few. Great vid as always, keep up the great work!!!
Lots of good tips here! To add one, try dragging that bad boy like a jig instead of the slow reel.
Great tip 👊🏼
Enjoyed watching buddy...thanks for sharing!

Great video. One suggestion. Set that hook harder drive it in deep
That what she said.lol
You have to fish the dark sleeper with a more parabolic action rod to keep them pinned.
Those kind of hooks I like to tip up a little bit it helps with the hook set a little better
That’s a perfect idea. Doesn’t matter how hard you set the hook if you don’t have the hooks tilted in the right position.
JB, I got 2 dark sleepers!
Dude where is that lake it gorgeous!
Link in description 👊🏼
Dang I was just there Saturday. The wind was too bad for us to kayak so we went to quail
They jump off on me all the time is the hook just hard to set or what ? I slam bass all day on my ned no problem but I been having problems with the sleeper, bass love em tho
I hear you. I guy told me to bend up my hooks, and that has made a big difference

Great tip. Thanks 🙏🏼
You need to strike into the take to set the hook mate.
Just got 10 of these 2 diff sizes from Amazon called truecend lures exact same bait though $34 for 10
Cool. How’s the colors for them?
@@KrakenBass they look really good to me 6 diff colors I thought it was 5 if you look them up it shows the colors
Set the hook like you mean it!!
I hear you man👊🏼😆
