what's the most efficient way to rig the bigger bait for bottom? thru lips, on back, tail .. ? single or with trailer hook?
i had many instances where the strike left me with just the head (lip hooking). i have a few times when i hook it thru the eyes and the the hook fail to break the ridge of the bait or the bait didnt slide up the line and often the fish threw the hook & bait. i lose more bait using the tail or back hooking on the way down but had more fish boated if i made it to the bottom.
thanks for the help.
