Vibes foul hooking
Submitted by Versus on Wed, 2012-05-23 12:47
been using a tt 1/4 vibe to pretty good effect on flatties and even whiting, with the snap on second hole from front. have found that it tends to hook itself alot, i.e the hooks (middle or back) often end up catching on the clip/line. sometimes it happens during cast, other times mid-retrieve.
Anyone else had similar problems and found any solutions? on such a small lure I wonder if changing hooks would ruin the action.

Ive had the same issues, Try
Ive had the same issues, Try and stop the lure before it hits the water. Ive found its mainly gettin snagged when it hits the water, Also bit more of a lob also helps.

I find casting with a long leader
Then a pendulum type cast stops it helicoptering in the air. Nothing more I hate getting a good cast in and it won't vibe hahah

Yer I know what u mean, sight casted at some whiting cruising around in shallow water today, but it foul hooked and i had to wind it past them like that, seemed to spook them.
I usually flick it out almost horizontally, will give the lob a go
