[QUOTE="Setterman, post: 5817971, member: 8139"] Fascinating. I never really had much issues hooking fish except tarpon on flies. I rarely sharpen hooks except for tarpon and do a ton of smallmouth fishing myself. Flourocarbon leaders might help as they don’t stretch but I’m wondering if your rod is too soft and therefore doesn’t have the backbone to drive the hook home. However, if you’re Strip setting this shouldn’t matter. One thing that can really affect it is if the flies you’re using are so bushy they’re eliminating a bunch of the hook gap. What is your go to fly? [/QUOTE]
