Used this last nite, and almost had a monster largemouth, but my dang line snapped!! Ughh
-
would a 5" swimming shad in current be better on a jighead or texas rigged?

I find that bringing the hook point up closer gives me more hook exposure & more hookups. I don't mind sacrificing a cheap lure or two to find where the snags are.

I slammed the fish with that

He's not using the correct hook, prob one of the best hooks to use is a Gamagatsu with the right choice of size. The Gamagatsu has a paticular bend in it that rests the tip of the hook firmly against the top of the shad, or in the case of most bass anglers would be the fluke. The hook he is using is prob ok for open water. Good instructional video though.

You can also kill the weakfish with that type of shad! Also, if you fish saltwater and want a great bait fish trap, check out the You Tube video for the Collapse-A-Trap. I haven't paid for bait in 3 years and the thing fits in your tackle box too.

On a shad that big you need a big hook like 6/0 thru 8/0.

Similar, execpt Texas rigging usually leaves the hook point inside the rubber to keep it snag-less.
