However braided line works well with the spinning gear, and the low stretch of the braided line requires less wrist snap to get the same action. I use a snap to attach to the split ring and this seems to work well. The Husky Jerk comes with three fairly sharp hooks, but they don't stay that way long. There is nothing more disheartening than to watch a nice fish break water and toss your offering back to the pitcher's mound. Therefore the hook needs to be buried quick and deep if it is to stay put.
Sharp hooks make all the difference.
I always expected a jerk bait strike to be a violent experience. Usually the lure just stops moving rhythmically and the line gets heavy. Because of the number and sharpness of the hooks, there is no reason to try and cross their eyes. The fish usually hook themselves, but a gentle sweep backwards can assist in this process. Play it nice and easy, and beware of a mouth full of sharp hooks when you try to lip the fish.
