Question from Roger Vista, CA
A: This is a common concern that many anglers have when fishing a swimbait. A lot of times the tendency is to try and set the hook the instant you feel the strike. This does not work well with swimbaits, instead resist your natural reaction to set the the hook immediately. Just continue reeling until you feel the rod load up. Once you feel the weight of the fish reel faster and sweep set your rod to drive the hook into the fish. -- AA Pro-Staff
