I am getting "decent" at getting the fish "interested" in my baits, but I am having a HUGE problem with my hook sets. I had a few fish I FELT (obv, I know because I felt them playing with the bait and even take it a couple times) but I cannot figure out which way to "set the hook" is the actual RIGHT way to do it. I have tried the horizonal approach, and the hasn't worked well, and I have tried the 6 to 12 set and that is not working much better. Anyone have any input on: How long to wait BEFORE setting it (what am I waiting to feel specifically to key the hit)? Which direction of pull is the BEST for setting the hook? If the fish hooks themselves can/should you still set it to INSURE a good hook (I ask this because I had NUMEROUS fish do this and I did not yank, and I lost EVERY ONE of these at the side of the boat, which cost me an EASY 10+lbs over two days)?. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated as this simple part of the game is driving me NUTZZZZZZ. Thanks for your time and input.
