I guess the one thing I do and it is probably is no secret, I'm a bottom bumper, and when my bait hits the bottom I will lift the bait very slowly for the first 6in to test if it has that wet sock feeling as I call it, lol and if it does I will come straight up and do what I call a pressure set, if not I will lift another 6in or so and before I let it fall I will lower the rod tip and bump the bate with the slack once or twice then let it fall, It may be too much action at times but it has served me well.
