Do any of you have any trouble getting a really good hookset when using a
spinning rod.I am using a BPS MH 6'6" extreme mated with a Stratic with 6
lb
line and I am willing to bet that I lost 6-8 fish from a poor hookset.

I don't have any problems. I use a 6'6" medium power rod and 10# mono. Is it
possible that your hookset is too light because of the light line, and
you're really driving it home with your 17# baitcasting outfit?
