make your leader long and a circle through the nose, hook from bottom to top. make sure you dont have any shiny swivels or weights. cuda's should be around soon. probably still early, but you never know.

oh. and when you hook a seal, turn on your camera and show us how you gut it.

Oh another question I had. Last time out I had a circle hooked Mac but it seemed the point kept turning into and Poking the Mac making the presentation wrong and shortening te macs life. Is this because of too big of a hook?

I remember seeing a video on here of someone using a bead on the hook to keep the Mac from moving. Anyone try this or m ow where to get it? Or maybe a small rubber and tied around the hook? Thanks

For the problem of the hook wrapping around
and restabbing the mack, I use a little rubber
stopper. Speciality tackle shops offer them. It's
the only way to go since even a perfectly sized hook
will give you the same problems.

I've never hooked a mack in the mouth, bottom to top.
Because I believe it'll screw with its breathing thus
shortening its life. I either laterally nose hook 'em, on
the hook goes thru the top back strap.
