- I've have been tying a dropper loop 12 -18 inches above the bucktail with a 3 inch loop in it and thread the hook eye through the loop. After an hour or so of fishing, I notice my hook loop gets all twisted up like a cork screw and is constantly wrapping around the main line because there's not enough distance between them..... This should solve that issue and since there is more distance between the bucktail and teaser, I think you get a more spread out and natural presentation..
- Fishing too light a jig.. I asked Dan at the seminar what he typically fishes and it's 5 to 6 ounces or more if needed. I'm usually fishing 3 or 4 and often times I have to let out too much scope to stay in contact with the bottom. Two things here 1) Dan mentioned he likes to fish straight up and down which likely gives the bucktail better action and 2) You loose a lot of jigs constantly trying to feel the bottom with all that scope out.
Does that sound about right Dan?

Better presentation , better hook up ratio.
Less snags , and just dip of the rod to find bottom , and then a lift to get it back in the strike zone .
