It may have just been the right thing to help you hook up. I have had the
darndest time with soft jerkbaits. I rig them up, get hit,. and they just
slide right out on the hookset. When its the only way I can get bit I try
and wait for the fish to turn away before I set the hook.

Bob,

What rod are you using to fish a soft jerkbait? Also what size and
type hook?

At some time or other almost every rod in my arsenal. Also, usually a wide
gap to be weedless. I have since found a Daiichi Copperhead works better,
but also is not quite as weedless. I use the biggest hook that does not
impede the action of the bait for pretty much all applications.
