Fat-G Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Teach me how to actually hook bass on these instead of missing them... How long should I wait to set the hook after a bite? Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 29, 2010 Super User Posted June 29, 2010 Are you sure you are missing fish and not bumping into cover/structure? That is a relatively small bait and in my experience, they engulf it. There is no missing the fish... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 29, 2010 Super User Posted June 29, 2010 There is no missing the fish... Agreed...You will not miss a "bite", but you might be getting bumped. The bump is light, the bite is not. Set the hook on the bite, not the bump. The issue I had, which Matt personally addressed, was losing fish during the fight. You don't "play" a bass, you reel it in! It is either pulling drag or moving your way. 8-) Quote
