Set The Hook Already

[OCBassman]

  Ok so I went out to Wal-Mart this morning and on the way home decided to stop at the little pond in my complex.  It was overcast and there was a light breeze. So I decided to take out my flippin stick and make a few casts before I was missed .  Well on my sixth cast or so I get a Smashing hit. You know so hard it almost pulls the rod out of your hand.   Well I was lets say a little slow on the uptake and finally just started reeling. You all know the results a couple cranks and nothing.  Made a few more casts and nothing else hits and I gotta get home.   That is it.  I almost had my first Bass on my Flipping stick with a Jig and Trailer.  Better luck next time.

I know how you feel, I don't fish jigs very often because of the confidence thing, but last Saturday I was fishing and I flipped a KaRu Orange Crawfish poison tail jig with a black GY hula grub trailer under a tree and just like you, I had a slamming bite but missed the fish  but that give me a little better confidence with jigs
