Default Spinning rods hookset

If you still want the light line mono switch to the 8lb yozuri hybrid line,
I use the 10 pound on my med spinning outfit and never really have too many
problems with hook sets, then again I set the hook on everything I feel,
rocks logs sticks stumps and the occasional fish : ) I only use the yozuri
and stren braid for all other reels. I did just try the spider stealth but
I'll stick with the stren, it's better imo

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?
