Tyson, In my last post I said " I was having trouble turning bites into hookups". Well today I figured something out and hooked five of the six bites I got. I have heard it befor but it never sank in until today and tried it myself. If you can set the hook on slack line, your hookups will go way up. No big fish to report but I only missed one bite. As soon as I would feel the fish I would lower my rod tip to put slack in the line wait 1/2 a second and swing for home. I think this really helped. I had posted befor that the hookup ratio was poor. After today I felt I should share my experiece with you and say that the lack of hooked fish was due to angler error and not a drawback to the bait.
