Hi Wes, Here is a bass article on setting the hook. It is more for gear fishers, but does give some insight. http://wired2fish.scout.com/story/1466101-do-you-set-the-hook-wrong
We do quite a bit of bass fishing here in Indiana. Sometimes giving the bass a 1-2 count before setting the hook helps. I find that hard to do though, especially after a nice bass has just smashed the popper :) Tight lines, Jack On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 12:03 PM, Wes Wada <w...@wadaworks.com> wrote: > Hi VFB, > > We are starting our fishing season here in Central Oregon.
