If the mechanics are good with the hookset, make sure you're using the right rod and a low stretch line.

Medium Heavy rod to heavy and florocarbon would go a LONG way to helping with a hookset. Mono stretches quite a bit and even more when it is water saturated.

If rod, reel and line are all in line and Mechanics ARE a problem, make sure you keep all slack out of the line when fishing it. AND keep the rod tip at a "shallower" angle. Maybe 20 or 30 degrees to give you more "fulcrum" to power that hookset home.

I hope this helps.
