To whom it may concern, If your hand is controlling the line on the flip, you are out of position to set the hook on the fish let alone try to control a big fish with your arm extended out of position away from your body resulting in a half @ssed hookset.You need to throw that d@mned reel back in the rod locker and find one that will free spool and stop as soon as the jig hits the bottom. Both hands should be in contact with the rod and the reel directly in front of you at all times. This allows your arms to be in position and close to your body to instantly set the hook and be in complete control of the fish. from the hookset. The distance between the first guide and reel seat wasn't to control the line , it so when it retracts in the butt section the first guide doesn't hit on the butt section blank.Bad habits are hard to break, practice correctly and good things will happen for your jig fishing.I hope this helps at least one person who is thinking about flipping and pitching. ;D P N J
