He was hooking up a whole lot better than I was. But I couldn't get the hook set time delay thing down. Kinda like false starting in football.
Definitely true there...times ten on topwater plugs, buzzers, or frogs where you can't hurry the hookset with mono, much less braid. It takes some getting used to. There's no young grasshopper samurai hooksets with braid either, or it'll leave you confused and empty handed like a nerd on prom night. A simple pop or sweeping is good enough. No stretch can be good or bad, depending on the situation and the person.
