I'm new to fishing and I'm trying to concentrate on panfishing. Any panfishing advice would be great as I'm looking to have a good time. I will be on a rowboat on a large lake.
This is a really stupid question, but I can't find anything on the net or youtube on how to properly put a hook in soft plastics such as the 3" tiny ika. I would think to put the hook coming out near the tail, but I've seen videos *not tutorials* of people having the hook come out mid body.
Is there a rule of thumb on size of a lure for the size of the hook? Right now I have Eagle Claw size 4,6, and 10 hooks that are labeled for panfish and for lures I have 2" curly tail grub and 3" tiny ika.
This weekend I will be going to the sporting goods shop and I want to go in with my war face and know exactly what I should be matching hooks/jigheads with lures.
Do you recommend Texas Rigging? Would I need a wide gap for that?
