Recently, I noticed some of my favorite baits, that I use often, are beginning to look scraped from the hooks. Matt was saying something at our last meeting that he "T" his hooks. At the time I wasn't sure what he meant, but now I know. My question is , what's the best way to go about doing this? I tried briefly with my vice, but wondered if there might be another way?

Sometimes you've got to "jiggle' it, and sometimes you've got to give it one big
"jerk"

Hey George,

Hey Matt,

Do you find that "T"ing the hooks affects the action of the lure? I would think it would but perhaps not in a truly significant way.

I tee my hooks also, but I still get the same amount of hook rash on the bait.

I do it because it exposes more of the hook points when the hooks are against the lure body. I use two pair of plyers that don't have teeth in the jaws (duck bill), that way the hooks dont get scratched from the plyers while bending.
