Thanks Dre! My fingers look like I was finger poppin Grimace, lol!! I just finished reading your post and might be able to help.
For keeping the berries on the hook better I always use a snap swivel. Put the eye of the hook through the meatier part of the berry, close to the stem. Then slip it onto your snap swivel, much better.
Also, for chicken livers. I sometimes carry dental floss with me to wrap around the livers once it's already on the hook.
If you try it lemme know. Hope this helps.
