Pekan on hindsight

Some of our friends asked if the fact that we did not manage to set hook on any sailfish was due to the hooks we used - I would say possibly.

We know some anglers use trailing assist hooks, but have also heard of horror stories of swinging assist hooks embedding themselves into the eyes of fish. Thus we simply attached the luring hooks straight onto the stickbaits.

Is this the best method or is there a better way? Or is the problem not with the way the hooks are attached, but our method of setting hook?

Hmm... ...
