Re: Fluke - when to set the hook
I agree with the above 2 posts. Gerry has a good point which I have experienced on some days where the fish just were not being aggressive. On those days a nice bait presentation dead sticking in a rod holder would be a saving grace to a picky bite.
Happened at least a dozen times where I was bucktailing and could not keep up with the dead stick rod dragging strip bait while the jigs weren't producing much. I like to rely on the bucktail since I swear by the gulp but sometimes old school rig with a strip of bluefish or squid out fishes the jigs.
