Overcoming Hookset Trouble

Location: McDevitt Pond, Boise, Idaho

Bait: Trout Magnet Jig Head with Red Worms and PowerBait Honeyworms

Rig: Telescoping Rod & Pfleuger Spinning Reel

Species: Rainbow Trout

Back at the neighborhood stocked pond. Shout-out to everyone who has struggled to get that hookset. I was struggling this trip. The first three hookset attempts failed, and it was discouraging. It took several hits before I was able to secure the hookset and start catching some great trout. I still missed some hooksets, but I was able to work through it enough to finally catch some good fish.

Thanks for joining me on my fishing adventures. I hope to see you again next week.
