I'm at home getting over gallbladder surgery can'nt do alot but sit here and think about fishing. So ok here it is when I'm using jigs I hook most of my crappie in the roof of the mouth too me thats a good thing. But when I'm using a minnow on a bait hook alot of the times I will hook them in the side where it is thin. So if I get some hooks like you would use if you was pouring lead and making jigs and use them for bait hooks the bait and the hook would be 90 degress of the line and maybe hook more of them in the top of the mouth? I do not know maybe I've got to much time to think and not enough to think with .
