jcw1503 · 03-18-09, 09:00 AM

It seems like lately all I am doing is learning things the hard way...I bought a new rod from wally word that folds up to keep in my truck for the stops on the way home from work or other times i may need one... Anyways with the weather being what it is the local lake is not active at all right now, but it was a pretty day for a change yesterday, so i stopped by on the way home...I thought i had the rod set up right...So i fished for about an hour and only had one bite...I was working a t-rig and the bite came, i reeled up the slack and went to set the hokk, and all i heard was the drag kicking in and line coming out...I had the drag too lose and i lost the fish...So another lesson learned by me the hard way..
