I've been using standard worm hooks to rig my 10" ribbon tail worms weedless Texas style (unweighted). About one out of ten however are coming in gut hooked as the bass inhales the worm. I've been successful at either removing the hook with my 12" forceps or cutting it immediately and returning them to the water seemingly unharmed (when I return to the pond there are none floating). For the first time a week ago one didn't make it despite a twenty minute attempt at revival. It really bummed me out so I'm looking into switching to a different hook type. Does anyone know if the offset or EWG worm hooks are designed like circle hooks to slide out and catch the lip? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
