In regards to increasing your hookup percentage on hollow bellies and Mission Fish, heres what I do. First, use braid with a leader. Next is the way you rig them. With the Mission Fish never texpose the hook, leave it on the back (it still remains more or less weedless). Also, slightly bend the hook up and out. With the hollow bellies, people want to make them more complicated than they need to be. Why not just thread them onto a jighead? I think I fished them with the "specially made hooks" once and couldnt stand it. A buddy showed me a cheap jighead that had a big gap and was very strong. I thread them on whatever weight I think I need, and superglue them to the back of the jighead. Works great and you will not miss fish. Obviously this cancels out the weedless part of the bait, but so does adding trebles. BTW, the Mighty Minnow on the jighead is proving to be very effective.
