how does everyone "set the hook" on tip-ups. I watched a couple of videos on here and it seems the guys who r using tip-ups rarely tug the line back to set the hook. Am I doing it wrong, as I normally feel if there is some tension and then pull about 1 1/2 to 2 feet of line back real fast. let me know. thanks
I use quick strike rigs on my tip-ups. All they take is a short firm tug. I've watched people try to turn the fish inside out with the hook set IMHO that is way too much. Like others have said keep doing what you are doing.
about a 3 inch tug for me. works great!!
I do the same. wait until there is tension and give it a good tug.
