[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 202711, member: 1776"] I was fishing jigs this weekend similar to this: [img]https://www.richlindgren.com/derek%201.jpg[/img] It was getting bit a lot, but I wasn't able to hookup with the fish easily. In fact, I didn't get ONE to the boat, all of them fought hard for 10-20 feet then it was off. I'm pretty sure I didn't get good enough hooksets in them, but I set the hook as hard as I dared without snapping the line. I even trimmed the weedgaurds to half down, but didn't seem to help. I was planning finesse setups and only had 6 -8 lb mono on medium (almost medium light) rods in the boat. What would you recommend for rod and line selection? I only use spinning tackle cause I'm not cool like bass pros and never learned how to use the baitcaster reels without "issues". Thanks for any help! [/QUOTE]
