Ok, On another post i read someone (AuntyM) saying "wait" " these are Springers" If i'm anchored and using plastic (Kwikfish) or metal (Alvins, Brads, Simon's) with trebles, If a fish hits it's either ON or OFF, No question, When fishing the Willamette, trolling I use a "Rogue style" bait holder, single hook at head...and at least #2 treble at tail, I caught a springer the other night and when it hit...clicker sing'n...i grabbed my pole...no question ...it was on..released it. I read a column in a local paper....This writer said when he released his fish it had swallowed it so far they had to clip the leader...i think he waited TOO long. Winter,Spring,Summer or Fall....Just set the hook if they call :p

Hardware, No waiting, (for me). Bait...Wait???
And don't be afraid To say Why you "wait"
