I usually put a small peice of styrofoam on the hooks, which usually number 3-4. I tried a sabiki rod, great idea, but keep loosing the fish, too stiff I think, but not sure.

PAPA,

Thanks for the post about your stiff rod (wait, that didn't come out right)

Anyways, I used to use a "stiff" sabiki rod and watched numerous guys kick my ass while fishing for bait with traditional rods.

This last week I used a medium bass rod and absolutely loaded up on bait in NO time.

I don't know how much difference the rod makes, but it made a difference to me.

This make a pretty good sabiki hook keeper. No angles, no tangles. About a buck at Squidco.
