    Use a big # 5 wide gap worm hook or a Frog Hook. Buy the lead rubber insert slip weights and clip on whatever weight you need to the hook. The bigger the bait the more weight you need to conteract the tail action.
    I don't always find schooling fish but when I do I backlash on the first cast
