After reading a few of the responses concerning hooks tearing up baits I was just wondering if any of you guys "T" your hooks (especially belly hooks) Its a very common practice out here in the midwest for musky baits, especially wtd top waters and gliders. It will have no effect on action and really helps cut down on hook rash (it also prevents the hook points from lying flush alongside the body of a bait which has definitely increased my hook up percentage.)

Just a thought......
