>>491513Gar are slowly making a comeback in my city, so nobody really knows the exact way to catch them where I'm from, but we try different things. Some people use a ball of thread or wire in place of a hook because its supposed to get tangled in their teeth. Personally, I just use a standard jig set-up. I'm not sure why, but everytime I toss my line in and the gar bite, they don't let go of the bait, so I can pull them up or net them real quick, and don't have to go through the hassle of taking the hook out.
