Thanks for the great advice guys, I kinda figured it would be a drag issue, when I'd set it you could hear the the reel unspool witht he drag I had. I'll tighten it till I can barely pull it off by hand and I'm sure that'll help

I don know exactly how to described the drag, I can take too fingers and pull it straight off the reel easily. It's a spinning reel too if it matters.

Just wondering how often do bass fall of the hook? I'm quite new to bass fishing and I've only gone out a couple times Do you loose bass a fair amount fishing? or am I doing something wrong? reeling in to fast? not setting the hook good enough? improper drag? I got about a 50% success rate actually getting them into the boat. I've been casting with a spinner with a treble hook (small black fury) and I'll let him take it for about a sec then set it. I'll constantly reel in with light drag but if they jump the hook comes flyin out ... any ideas?
