Rob I fish a lot of inshore and I have also experimented with different lead head type rigs for salty bass. I actualy molded a treble into the bottom of the leadhead. It sucked. I got weeds on every retreive. I eventualy perfected my hookset and I am satisfied with just a single stationary top hook. Of course we are talking about two seperate problems. Mine was hooking fish from 150 yards away. Once they are hooked good they dont come off. You want to keep them hooked. Let me think about it and then I will PM ya. Ok I thought about. Got it check your PM's
