help required please,

i've mentioned before we don't have freshwater bass, the closest fish we have to them i suspose is wrasse, these are a similar shape to bass, live in the same hard to get at places, fight hard and bury you and your gear in the bottom structure or cover at lightening speed, they grow up to high single figures but mostly around the 3-5lb mark, the biggest problem in catching them on soft baits is they only have very small mouths for there size, with a big set of teeth designed for biting into crabs/ limpets/ small winkles etc.

the way we fish for them that seems the most sucessful has been dead sticking on 5-15gram jig heads depending on depth and current with either craws or stick baits, but the problem lies in hooking them, were only hooking up 1 out of every 8+ bites sometimes even less, so was wondering how you might approach this dilema.

all the best
