I have a ten year old son and he loves to fish alot with a Rapala's skitter pop at horsetooth, but he had a hard time of hooking the fish. Either the fish would short strike the lure or he would pull it away to fast. This is what I did, I added a extra split ring on the back treble hook so when the fish strikes the lure the hook would go deeper in it's mouth. It sets the hook 1/8" farther back. it doesn't seem much but this has made his catch rate with a skitter pop triple. This year he was all smiles. feel free to try this sometime... it makes a big difference.
Good Fishing to everyone.
