new to bass fishing and have been having some success with senko's with 2/0
hooks.
Am fishing a shallow 21 acre pond on golf course so yesterday after a
cooling rain decided to try crankbaits. First used one that stayed on
top--sort of stuttered it during crank in and got a big smash that knocked
it out of water. Next two fish got hooked up and although I kept good
pressure on rod both got off just around kayak.
Then I used a big lipped crankbait that stayed about four feet down and
caught two more small bass but one of those threw lure.
My question--when you get a hit on crankbait do you really need to SET hook
?
With the plastic lure the larger hook seemed to be caught in jar--but small
hooks on crankbait leave me needing advice.
Thanks Joe
