Setting hook just simply point rod at fish on take , while spool is moving lock up reel to pre set drag with rod still pointing at fish , lift n reel u should be connected 99% of the time ! This technique allows the book to exit throat and as fish swims away catch in corner of mouth !
Use hooks that are commensurate with bait size so the point is exposed quickly and sinks easily as it passes thru mouth to connect in V of jaw.
