+1 on what old coot has to say. I have more of a problem of getting hooks out. Had to cut off a bunch of lures today that got swallowed. have to let them take it. its almost the exact same as bass fishing. Drop the rod, feel the thud, thud, set hard and keep the line tight. Lower the drag if snapping off and put the rod tip in the hole when they run. caught 50+ fish today and only had a few get off and most ended up right back on. Just leave it down there after they bite or get off, they dont learn, they keep coming back for more. Also caught many fish that seemed to really like the lure hitting the bottom...
