Set as soon as you feel them--I don't necessarily agree that they'll spit it--after all bass are used to dining on hard objects like crabs and lobsters, and fish with spiny dorsals--but you increase the chances for deep hooking the fish if you wait.
They have enough of the jig in their mouths when you feel the tap--if you're fanning on the set, 99% of the time it's just small fish.
