I'd have to concur on both points. Especially with Gills - small mouths, finicky bites.
Perch can be nippery and finicky too, but they have bigger mouths, and can be awfully agressive when motivated. One thing about a trout bite - is they often just swipe, and not even put a lure in their mouth at first. But they are also quick to spit a hook (yes, fish DO spit hooks. Bass can inhale and exhale a lure before you even sense a tug of any sort.
I also prefer a bit longer, bit heavier rod for the Jacker. Of course - no spring bobber. But the longer shaft and more backbone can translate to more solid hooksets.
Anyone out there found a source, or alternative to the little plastic "wire" loops used to hold the trigger? Just two of those little dinks is tight, and they're so easy to misplace. (If youre like me!)
