Win A Few, Lose A Few

[pig n jig]

I couldn't tell you for sure, but the guys made some very valid points.I believe as NCYankee does. I have had bass bite the jig so hard, that when you hookset , all you do is move the fish, the hook never sets.the other thing to consider is the distance when using mono. As Rebbasser said, the stretch is a factor.I know when fishing mono, I never cast as far as the reel can cast, it will usually be beyond getting a good hookset while using mono.The thing is you were using a craw imitator bait, which leads to my first theory. The bass hit them so hard to crush the craw against the roof of their mouth. I doubt you could have moved the hook on light mono line to get a good hookset, I use braid and still have difficulty at times.It's all a part of fishing.P N J
