Spokey,

I'd echo Hawk on his advice to use very, very fine wire hooks. Heavy hooks have no chance of getting very deep...

Also, if freespooling cut plugs, I'd close the bail and reel until there's a pretty healthy bend in the rod and then smack it.

Fish on...

Todd.

P.S. Hawk, gonna see you out this fall again?
