Hey Mav-
i agree...i had some certain lures that use to have some brittle hooks at one point-did the same thing with an upgrade...mine were just plain line bites. If any of you guys gets a chance to see a 7lbr upclose, look at their teeth! ;)
-I mix it up, sometimes I use scent other times the lure colors are just enough to edge the bite on. I get all my scent at the tackle shop- so much to choose from! :)
