Jerk bait hook setting

Side arm 90% of the time.... the real key though is in the talking up the slack line quickly..... moving from the 6.5 to 7ft rod length can make all the difference in the world to driving the hook home. Other key considerations include using a braid line with mono/flourocarbon leader (low stretch) and of course replacing all hooks with premium quality extra sharp ones...... more fish landed everytime.....Greg.

Side arm for sure. You need to keep your rod tip down and slack out otherwise the fish may throw your bait. If you set the hookup, you need to bring your rod tip down anyway, setting sideways skips that step. If the fish misses, the bait may still be at the same level in the water coloumn, seting the hook up may pull the bait out of the water. My 2 cents
