    This is one aspect of fishing where I am in the top percentile.

    I got it mastered from the setup to the follow through.

    Hackney because he doesn't set the hook hard like the others. Reel into em and lean works better than slack lining. Not as fun, but more effective.

    Best hookset should never be misconstrued with hardest hookset.

    Few of these guys didn’t make my list.

    Watching recent results, they are not settling the hook much 😂😂😂😂,

    Just joking.

    My fishing partner has a great hook set, he is only second to me.😂

    Jason Christie is my pick. Watch his feet and the way he contorts his body on a really hard hook set. His feet come completely off the deck and he is only on the tips of his toes. If you look at his logo its actually a picture of him up on the tips of his toes and his body leaning into a hard hookset...check out his logo
