Line watching

Im gonna say i dont catch many fish on non-hard baits by feeling anymore. Maybe less than 10% of the fish I catch draggin a jig or drop shot or shakin a worm are from feel. Most of the time it is a result of watching. I figure you may get 3 seconds to set the hook by watchin, and maybe half that if your just feeling. I dont really set the hook hard anymore unless there is heavy cover involved. Watching the line makes it where you can give it a more carolina rig sweep set. You dont risk poppin a fishes mouth open or snappin florocarbon or braid with the less jerky set. I have also recently found that line watching is way more important for hard jerkbaits than even for plastics. It seems like the fish will bump the jerk but not hit it. If you can watch your line closely enough and see when this happens, you twitch the bait ever so slightly, and BAM. Or at least that the way it has worked for me. Oh and I dont night fish...figure there are other things that need tending after dark!!! ;D
