riarcher Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I see that everyone uses them with the pointy end facing down. Is there any particular reason why they are not with point up? Thinking with point up they couldbe a bit more weedless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Personal preference mostly. Some guys point them up. I am old but I'm slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug n Flyguy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Most fish attack their prey from below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodCarver Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 The only time I put the hook face up is if I am going to be dragging the lure along the bottom. As stated above the fish attack from bellow. Some people misplace their dreams and then later claim that they were robbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smirkplug Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I put them up or take them off completely, pointing down never catches me stripers and i like to hide hook as much as possible. I am testing this method right now and will post what i find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
