Q: hello everyone i use livebait to catch stripers my line looks like this( main line with slider and a two way with about 12inch leader line with hook.) I get tugs on the pole should i pull up on the pole when i see the tip go down or should i wait till the fish takes the line. I have a baitrunner reel. Im confused if i should let the fish take my line or i should yank up on the pole thanks for the help everyone
A: Jeremie B, Lengthen the leader to about 4 ft. You should get harder hits. Stripe rs usually take the bait good, but on other days a little sluggish. On the great bite days set her hard when the fish hits.On sluggish days let him take it a little longer then slam him. Great Fishing
