Do not set the hook

The splash is a trick. The fish is still eating. If you set now, you set into air.

This is why you don’t set the hook on topwater baits.

What you will see

  • Watch the delay between explosion and line coming tight.
  • The anglers who land rats are the ones who look late on purpose.

Takeaways

  1. Reel, then lean. Do not flail.
  2. Braid helps you feel the load without a dramatic hookset.
  3. This is required viewing before your first Go session.
