So for all you guys out there with cameras when do you set your hook. Do you watch the camera and when the fish takes the hook do you set the hook or do you still wait for that pull on the rod?
I find myself setting as soon as the fish hits the hook but I wait for a good hit. I find myself missing a few fish compared to waiting for the good pull but I also find myself catching more fish.
Worst day out last year i used it for setting the hook a few times. We ended up using a shiner bit on a bare hook on really light line, was still hard to detect the hits. The bite was terrible (should have guessed, strong northeast wind, -20 to -25 all day) but we managed enough for supper. Without it i don't think we would have caught more than 2 or 3 as it took all morning to find a presentation they'd at least look at. I figured the camera paid for itself that day.
I found it great at Carson...the trout were biting light and seeing them take the hook allowed setting the hook just right. Increased my landed fish without a doubt.
