I was wondering how to rig a weedless gold hook myself. I was fishing a super thick green cypress that blew down in creek channel the other day. I knew it was holding big crappie but couldn’t get my minnows down more than a few feet without getting hung with a gold hook. I ended up putting on a 1/8oz weedless jig head and trimming it down to about 4 bristles and dropping that down. This definitely helped with the hang ups but I feel like that bulky presentation cut down on my bites some. I was able to at least fish down in the 7-9ft range and pull some nice fish.
