Has anyone tried a mustad triple grip on a jigging rap or puppet minnow? I believe it is the same hook that is on a flicker shad, but they do make one with a shorter shank. Was watching a show on YouTube and the guy replaced the hooks on a shiver minnow with that shorter shank hook. He said the shorter shank won’t let it fowl as much as the longer one would(makes sense). The most interesting thing I noticed was that most of the fish stayed hooked when netted. In my experience, the stock hooks almost always pop out in the net and sometimes on the way in. Would love to improve hook to catch percentage. I know this has been talked about before but I didn’t see anything about this specific hook.
