This past week we have 4 extra feet of water in the lake and ample water in the bushes. Excellent conditions for flipping an pitching. I encountered an issue that has seldom been a problem for me. Fishing "beaver style" baits, I lost several fish that inhaled and really clamped down on the bait. When I set the hook, I know the sinker(tungsten) blocked my hook from penetrating the fishes mouth. They eventually opened their mouth and expelled the bait. I tried a Tokyo rig, but did not get bit soon and I have ZERO confidence in that thing with all the hardware on it until I have some quick success. Any other solutions?
