another tip that I found works well is to cut line off the top and the bottom....you only need enough line on the top and bottom so that the top and bottom hooks don't get caught in the swivels....I tend keep away from the six hook sabikis, 4 or 5 hooks keep it short and it's plenty enough to make bait...Also, bigger hooks make it easier to remove the fish cause you can guide your fingers down the line and grab the hook, turn it upside down so the fish will slide off, smaller hooks are harder to find and grab when attached to a mackerel....crimping the barb will help as well, but you may lose more hookups..
