    Default Tug therapy!!!


    After a stressfull day at the office, I had to stop and relax at a local pond (where my secret condo's are) on the way home to relax and watch a cork bounce in the water and test my new jig i tied the night before only had 20 mins before dark. I caught this stud and missed his grandpaw!!! His grandpaw, hit and made my cork pop up and lay flat, I reeled down to catch up since i could see him coming at me and i set hook and then seen the jig come out his big old mouth and then he turned sideways and i could see his size, I think i missed my 3lbd. der..... i will be back old wise one!!! LOL

    So is better to set hook when cork lays flat of wait for it to go under after laying flat?

    This was in 4ft of water fish about 16" down.

    I keep a tight line and set it as soon as you see the float tip on most cases or you’ll miss em!

    If a cork moves funny, set the hook.
