Hooksets
I was watching Hank Parker's fishing show this morning and noticed that he grips the rod very high on the hookset. (Maybe 4 or 5 inches above the reel) I am curious if anyone else does this. I myself don't, but would think from a pure mechanical evaluation that it would assist in the hook up ratio due to changing the fulcrum of the rod.
But then I was also thinking that it negates some of the backbone of the rod and forces the thinner parts to handle the full force. Your thoughts?
