Excellent content ; I had to learn most of that stuff the hard way, and have preached it to fellow anglers since. Its not the hook, or the rod, or the line alone. Its a matched combination of all. Congrats on AOY .
Great ideas thank s. I also down grade to a 3/0 hook. And my hook up ratio increased. Weird but for me it works. Having a back problem it gets me to set the hook better
I've been losing good fish and missing a lot here lately on trick worms and it's so frustrating nobody seems to have any answers as to why but this makes a lot of sense l. I like fishing weightless in shallow water I don't usually have too much trouble getting bites it's just landing the fish
David Dudley Outdoors I had a terrible hook-up ratio with soft plastics I tried this trick and I went from about 30% to a 90% hook-up rate I was just rigging my worms too tight but it yeah it does work
Great video! I’m gonna try this! I didn’t even know you had a channel until I got a notification on my phone, just before I got up this morning, that your 2019 FLW AOY speech video had been posted to RUclips. I watched that whole video. And when you mentioned that you had a RUclips channel, I had to check it out. Congratulations on your 2019 FLW AOY victory! Oh by the way, I subscribed to your channel and hit the bell too, so I would get all the notifications.
David Dudley Outdoors you’re welcome. I plan on getting caught up as quick as I can. I’ve been following your career for a while. I remember when you won the Ranger M1 tournament on the Mobile Delta, back in ‘02. You’ve always been one of my favorite FLW pros to learn from.
David. When you explain things in your hack/instructional videos the 💡 comes on like wow. It seems so simple but a lot of us novice fisherman just don’t think of it. Thank you for your tips and tricks. It really helps us little guys enjoy fishing even that much more. Keep it up please!!!! I love watching your vids.
I almost didn't do this one Robert cause I thought everyone know this! I just need to not take things for granite and post. Thank you for the kind words!
What a great tip! I'm mostly a finesse fisherman and I fish a lot of plastics so I'm going to definitely try this! Your tips are excellent and unique from other anglers, and of course being angler of the year, I think you've proven that your tactics work! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Love your content! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the kind words I am a plastic nut. It's about all I use! I hope you catch alot more using this. Ps don't fall off your horse it might hurt!
David great video..it’s the little things that nobody else thinks about is what separates you from the norm...you should get a patent on that design brother!!!!!!
Pretty good hack David will be trying this 1 out thanks,awsome to watch your channel grow,tight lines my friend,well it's about time to start hunting here in NC,lol
I have to admit, I never even thought about the plastic taking up the hook gap, but I sure have experienced the doubled up effect... another great tip Dave... thanks again
Great tip on the plastics. I can say I have never even heard of doing that and anything that increases my hookup ratio is a good thing. Would love to see you out on the water with your brother again.
Look at that wall 🙀 that’s fantastic 👌😜 of course us old timers have plastics that were just plain skinny, way back when. David, You are giving some super information,and you are living proof that simplicity is more efficient,and you are connected to some Great equipment,especially Perfection Lures ( my favorite) keep rolling Professor 🔨 👍👍👍👍
I love 119 likes and not one dislike. That says something about your videos and personality DD. Have you thought of a 1 yr. anniversary giveaway??? Lol. What brand jig head was that on your swim bait? Another good video 👊🏼✋🏼
Ultralight, 4 pound test and a weightless baby brush hog/ trick worm is how I roll. Gotta set that hook to next Sunday to get it into em, and the fight is always intense.
I fish a boot tail swimbait about 70% of the time year-round and I had never thought to do that to increase the size of the hook J great tip I will definitely try it out
i dunno if it works enough to see a that much or less of successful hook up ratios, but i do see it helping more w a beaver style bait.i do see the plastics not lasting for many fish w this tho
super helpful tip i was fishing this morning and had a few fish come off so i will definitely try this
Another really good tip. Thanks.
Thank you Harry
Awesome tip! I used to just use a much larger hook for better hook-ups but it would mess up my sink rates too much.
And hang ups! And makes it to bulky
That's a interesting concept. I can see on some plastics how it would help for sure.
Great info.....Keep it up
Great info DD! love what you do for us subscribers!

Thank you Jim
Is the Pros finding lures competition still on going?
Love the tips!
Great advice! I need all the help I can get!!
Another great video from the AOY. I thought my missed hook sets were from me just not being good. Now I have an excuse. 😂
I do like the tip. What about changing style of hook for swimbait so there is not meat inside the hook shank?
You definitely come up with some cool tips and tricks great video
Thank you George I don't mind sharing

Man, it’s amazing to see you at 15K and it’s only late August 😎🎈🎊🎈Bravo 👏👏👏👏😉
Thank you Will! We are trying!
What’s your reasoning behind not going under medium heavy? I have always gone medium heavy on spinning and guys think it’s too heavy
TOTALLY AGREE Jason you got to drive the hook IN and TROUGH not going to do it with a med on a long cast
David Dudley Outdoors thanks for the advice, only med I ever use is Ned rig
Another great video thank you sir for sharing cheers🍻🍻🎣
This old man just learned something. Thanks

Only on kids..minors videos
That is good to know! I haven’t been a minor in a long time! Age wise that is!

We are trying to figure it out thanks
My good man, you sound like the mic is in a shoebox. Muffled sound again sir.
Working on it sorry!
