When I feel it strike I pull back and lay into it,after the first run and get the fish under controle with a few cranks on the reel I'll feel confident enough to re set the hook.When drifting eels & you feel the pick up you pay out some line and while doing so lay your tip down horizontal with the water by then a couple of seconds has passed & you can feel the bass managing control of the eel and at that point I'll lay into it.
