Another is the knee jerk instinct to set the hook following a blowup rather than waiting to feel the load (I've even tried closing my eyes on the retrieve but the sound still triggers the hook set reaction). Patrick Sebile claims an 80% hookup ratio in testing, the mailman just delivered the new frog so hopefully I'll have an update later tonight.

Looking forward to your update. Interesting topic.
