I like using 1/32 jigs with a #4 hook on it. This year I have been missing some good fish. I don't know if it is the color I'm using and they are short hitting it. Anyhow, when you are fishing a jig lets say 14 inches from the tip, how do you set the hook after the bite? I don't really jerk the pole a certain way to try to set the hook but, I kinda let the fish hook himself. Is that a proper way?

How do yall do it?
