Watching your line is a real key. Hook sets are free! Reel down and sweep laterally. I don't get carried away with a super aggressive hook set like other rigs. I've also found that I can hook up with a vertical motion but it's not a solid "hookset" and I lose more fish on the way in.
I use 2/0 finesse hooks and 3/0-1/16oz weighted wacky hooks when I want a fast sink. Hope this helps.
