I did the Axehead shuffle this morning. Got a couple of A-head Specials. Haven't had anything on the line in a couple of weeks(weather/time constraints and/or bad caddying) so these couple of fish were long overdue.
I switched over from cranks to smallish plastics that seem to work so well at the Head. This being the case I went over to the the ultra light from the bait cast. Definitely a lot of fun but...i had half of the fish spit the hooks. Is the down side to ultra light the fact that you can't get a decent hook set or is my return to mono filament the cause? The last one I lost was a nice fish. As soon as I had him on I kept the rod up at the 12 o'clock position but he never let up to give it a good set and flipped. Any ideas or thoughts?
