Need to land my first one

[AdictedBassTard]

A reason for the bass throwing your hook may also be that you are not keeping your line tight enough. "Give a bass slack you get your hook back" , is a good motto to remember.
Another good trick I have found is shoving the end of your rod way beneath the water surface to prevent the bass from leaping. To make this technique even more solid I use nothing less than a 7' medium action rod on long casts or deep cranking.
