Frustrated fishing. Need rod/reel help

[albinotrout]

When the rod is bouncing like that they are taking the bait. Yo need to pick up the rod and with a quick jerking motion set the hook and then get ready to reel it in. If you set the drag too tight the line can break. The drag helps to fight the fish without the line breaking. You want it set to where you can pull line out without too much effort.
