Last night I went fishing decided to try some plastic worms with a small bullet weight and rig it "tex" style.
I decided to try "floating" style I just removed the bullet weight and used the lowest weight hook I had. It did produce the style action I wanted almost had a hog but he showed why he is a hog and got me hung up! I then missed three other fish. During these misses I would see my line go tight at the same time I felt the hard bite then as I started to set the hook they were gone. Is it harder to set the hook with Floating style? I'm I just waiting too long? I keep my hooks deadly sharp.
