Submitted by parry123 on Sat, 2012-05-19 19:57
hey everyone today i decided to try out a jetty in my local estuary, threw out a slimey mac and in 5 minutes i was hooked, after about a minute the hooks must of slipped witch was really annoying but my im starting to think now if it was just a fluke or just a dodgey hook up? i was using mustad hoodlum 8/0 hooks and im pretty sure i was hooked on a ray of some sort so im wondering if theres a propper way of setting hooks in a ray?

Themselves
Im no expert mate, but have caught a few rays. Honestly I've done nothing to set the hooks they just suck the bait and hooks down, your on, that's my experience with ray anyway,

in a ray full strike position on your lever drag
and give it as much as possible

But really make sure he has it
Wait for it to run solid before striking

i was thinking that aswell because by the time i had grabbed it it had been running for around 7-10 seconds then i tightend the drag and pulled
