awesome fish well done, i
awesome fish well done, i had trouble hooking fish using the octa jigs had some good takes but always resulted in the hook not connecting or the hook pulling lost a really good fish that i called for a dhu but the hooked pulled early in the fight
is there a technique that you find works for hooking the fish and also what sort of action do you use to work the octa

howdy ethan the action i use
howdy ethan the action i use is quite simple.drop to the bottom small lift wind small lift
wind,do this about 6 times and then drop it back to the bottom.i have also dropped fish in the early days and i think its because of the slow action of the jig,just like using baits once hooked up i like to give a couple hard jigs to make sure the hook is well set,hope this helps
