When and how to set the hook, bass lures!

And this is why Nick is known as The InformativeFisherman. Sweep hook set for treble hooks rod pointed at the lure, got it!

As a fairly new fisherman, this is extremely helpful. I hadn't been reeling in slack line, and that explains a lot. Thanks!

Very grateful you for this tutorial. I've been a long time trout and salmon fisherman and setting the hook on Bass has been one of my biggest challenge. Thank you for the in depth info...You are by far the most informative fisherman on YouTube!

Thanks Nick. This information is priceless for reducing one of the worst reactions when it comes to setting a hook...PANIC!! I have seen Anglers with 10-20 years of experience who still panic. This is great information to ingrain into an entry level angler before bad habits set in. Once the proper hookset becomes part of the 'thought process' when you're tying on a lure the confidence level goes up along with the hookup ratio and the Panic level goes down. Thanks again for sharing IF.

pure gold. school was never so much fun. thanks.

This info is gold, Thanks for this video Nick

New to fishing,, now I understand why I been losing fish and unable to set the hook. Will try and apply these lessons

Such an important video as my arsenal and success increases. Every time you are on a bait you learn that you need a different type of hook set. I started fishing 2 + years ago and bass fishing the last 6 months, and I still feel like a total novice. These tips are so incredibly useful, I've been sharing them with all my friends I'm getting into fishing.

This is first class instructional material made public!! Awesome job Nick Smith!!

Hey Nick, Great info! I have learned something here and can't wait to get on the water to use it. I have lost many fish with the "slack line" issue you have mentioned here and really did not know how to address it until I seen your video today. I really like to sweep hook set and makes a lot of sense. I will be subscribing. Thanks again.

This is the absolute best video on this subject that I've found. Thanks so much!
