I've been using the uni knot (double uni?) to join the braid and mono. I've broken knots at the hook, but never broken at the mono/braid area.
I'll try the stinger hook. I think I can try various methods of single/treble setups until I'm satisfied I'm catching more, but not hooking them deeply.
I really like single hook tubes because most of the time I can get them out quickly without ever pulling the fish out of the water. But missing most of the hits is kind of a bummer.
One fish hit and went straight to the bottom, ripping out 30' of line. I started reeling once it calmed down, and shortly after the hook pulled. If I had a stinger I might have caught something really nice, and I wouldn't mind having to spend an extra minute carefully removing another hook.
