I am losing alot of fish lately and have a few questions for you guys.
1. Do you guys give a hard hookset and how do you set up the clip and drag? I set the clip and drag tight so the fish set the hook on the hit but they are spitting it before they pop alot.When i get to them and pop it i ushually give a decent hookset but dont wanna go bass style and rip out the hook.
2. My tandem singles on hootchies never seem to stay in when a big fish does the old head thrash at the side of the boat. Any advice on that? My single siwashes hold awsome i think i might change over to #4 siwashes on my hootchies.
3.Last question is how do you rig anchovies? I have been running a treble in the back and 2 or 3 inches behind a single # 5 stinger. Im getting tons of fish that are grabbing the anchovie right behind the treble and the trailing hook never gets them. I see double trebles alot but is that overkillif you get a shaker?
