thanks for the advice guys... gonna try a harder hook set today. yea been using ugly stick of various lengths mainly 5"4 with 6pound spider mono (which sux wicked bad and down to a couple cast lengths) so im changin it maybe to florucarbon and a 6 footer that I was using when I missed´em with 8pound mono using gamakatsu 4/0... should I be using a bigger or offset hook. I like a shorter rod cuz I fish in my canoe alot also anyone ever use a sigle or a treble hook with one hook cut off rigged to the back of a softy

When you feel a fish grab the bait or so you think that's what it is quickly drop your rod tip and then slam it straight up. This method works like a whip. By dropping the rod tip down you create slack and when you quickly pull it upwards the line snaps like a whip as it runs out of slack and it gets tighter and tighter. Its the strongest hook set method. Check out this video it explains it better than I can. This works best with jigs, but really works with anything where you have to do a majority of the work in setting the hook.
