A recent experience I had with fish tossing, rolling on and exploding on a Danny plug without a hookup got me thinking about something Pete G mentioned a while back this summer. He said that big fish hooked with a Dannys tend to drop the hook before they can be beached. My thought is that due to the type of vicious attack fish take on a Danny they are unlikely to be hooked well in the mouth. 50% of the hits I have result in a hooked fish and an even smaller percentage make it to my feet and an even smaller percentage of those are hooked well in the mouth (usually a piece of skin on the chin or gill). Anyone else experience these same problems? I use gibbs but do the beachmasters, tatto’s, or original Pichney’s have the same type of problems? Is the hook configuration the problem or is it the type of attack the fish puts on the plug?
