Setting the Hook while Bait Casting
When bait-casting for bass with an artificial bait, unless you reel in so quickly that the line is practically taut, the fish must be struck much as in fly-fishing. It sometimes happens, of course, that the bass will strike hard enough to hook himself even on a slack line, but more often the opposite is the case. The strike in bait casting is one of the things which must be learned when taking up this method of fishing. Primarily it differs from the strike in fly-fishing in that it is made with the left hand, that is, if the caster is right-handed. The education of the left hand to this work is a matter of much practice and naturally the length of time taken to learn it depends upon the skill of the angler in getting the fish to strike as well as upon the natural adaptability of the angler to learning new methods of tackle handling. It is quite possible for an angler to be an expert fly-caster and still be unable to educate his thumb to bait-casting.
