recently got a scorchin to use on heavy patterns. for some reason it will not hook very much. i really expected it to hook a lot more than my absolute, but so far i am disappointed. on lanes that were not fresh i was getting more reaction from my original and my absolute. i was wondering if there is something i could try. the guy that drills my stuff knew what i was looking for so i do not believe it is the layout. i play down and in (stroker), but i thought the scorchin would hook more than my ai and original. i need something to use on heavy oil, is it possible that without enough oil that the scorchin will not react properly?
