Fluke - when to set the hook

[Apple Panic]

This question is for jigging on a party boat.

For years, I have been delaying setting the hook when the bite is weak thinking that the fish is just playing with the end of my bait and hasn't swallowed it yet.

After watching some of the incredible underwater video of John Skinner on youtube, I think I am going to change my mind and will try to set the hook as soon as I feel anything. If I miss, the fish will come back according to the videos.

What do you guys do when the bite is only a slight tug or just weak?
