im going to have to agree with that, my one fish was gill hooked too and it was only a dink. also, i think the trailer hooks should be rigged with spectra instead of the wire. it just seems that the wire will restrict the movement of the baits when the trailer hook is on the magnet. i'd try to use spectra and make it a little bit longer then it should be so the slack will allow the hook to move left and right during the retrieve.
