New to Togging

[rumster]

My advice to you is your better off coming up with a clean hook rather than swinging and missing... As you become familiar with how they feed it is commonly said wait for the good bite. Blackfish more often that not will pop it a couple of times before they suck in the bait... Rookies swing and miss vs guys that know the deal wait for the right bite and sink the hook followed by the fish digging for the bottom. Setting the hook with a solid lift and reeling is key.. No pumping necessary just hold the rod high and reel..... Anything less and the fish will take you for a rocky ride to the bottom. Good Luck.
