Hook Size?
So i fish for bass with berkeley power bait, no weight. But whenever a fish bites, the worm goes in its mouth and the fish swims a little bit with out, but when i set the hook the rig just flies out of its mouth? Is the hook too big/small or is the worm too big/small?
im waiting a good 2-3 seconds….
How big is the worm? I think the standard size for their product is 7 1/2″. This size is acceptable for bass in the 11-12″ range and up. Smaller than that, I’d probably want to go with a 6″ worm. I’m not much on 4″ for largemouth but some people like them.
For that size worm (7 1/2) I’d recommend a #3 hook (but #2 will be ok).
If the tail is being ripped off, they don’t have it in their mouth. If the worm curls up on the hook, then you’re just plain missing them.
As far as a rod, are you using a meduim action? It’s a good action but some mediums are more like “light”. A rod too flexible is not going to give you a good hookset.
So it’s possible it’s your equiptment.
The other possibility is your technique.
It’s good you’re waiting for the fish to swim with it a bit as opposed to just setting the hook on a tap, tap, tap. When a fish picks up the worm and moves it, it’s normally a bass and it’s noramlly in his mouth. So I don’t think you’re setting the hook too soon by your description.
If you’re right handed, you ought to be setting the hook on a right side angle for optimal power. So that may be something you’re doing wrong that causes fish to spit the bait.
