What NIB said--loosen up your drag when she's in close. If you're using braid--loosen it A LOT!!

Braid is a two edged sword---you feel more fish but you also drop more. Sometimes, you feel them too soon and your hooks don't get as good a bite on the jaw as they would if you delayed the hook-set or were using mono.

I love braid for jigging, but I've gone back to mono for most plugging. Or, I use a much softer rod if I want to plug with braid.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
