I used to have that problem as well. Id lose probably 25% of the jig fish I hooked to a head shake, or something else during the fight. I started using these



and I stopped losing fish. That deep throat hook gets em in the top of the mouth 90% of the time, and I have to pop it out with the heel of my hand. I cant remember losing a fish on these jigs. I started fishing them exclusively over a year ago. You can find them here http://siebertoutdoors.com/Dredge-Brush-Mata-443.htm . Theyre a really great product at a decent price, and Mike Siebert is a really nice, easy guy to deal with. I have no affiliation with him, just like the stuff he makes. I do trim the weed guard back to the top of the hook bend, at an angle that makes it longer towards the hook.

Good Luck!

so i really dialed in on a Black and Blue Jig bite while night fishing right now. I Using Hack attack jigs by strike king. we are talking 10-20 fish a night. this is my first year using Big Jigs like this. I using 7'6 heavy action Rod and 25lb Copolymer. I feel the bite. reel in my slack. MAKE SURE i feel the Weight of the Fish on my Rod and Then I try and Break the Rod with the hook set. I Mean theres no way you can set the hook any harder. I fight the fish. reeling him in as fast as possible. not giving him a chance to fight. and try and swing him in the boat, only for the fish to Come off while swinging him in the boat. I even smacked The wife in the Face with a 3 pounder trying to swing a fish in the boat. I HAVE EVEN LET THE FISH RUN WITH THE JIG FOR 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE I DO THE WORLDS HARDEST HOOK-SET. Still half the time it will come off while trying to land the fish. i even tried Just LEANING IN TO THE FISH! still the same thing happens and sometimes when i do swing the fish in the boat the jig will pop out and leave the fish flopping all over my carpet. I doing something wrong. please help. Thanks in advance! sorry for any Misspelling I m in a hurry.

If you are using braid then your gorilla hookset is the problem. You are tearing a huse cut in the fishes jaw if you are using braid because it has no stretch . Done it many times before myself before i quit using the braid.
