If you pull back, in line with the axis of the rod, then you have a much higher chance of jamming the segments together. Once jammed, you may not be able to get the segments to collapse again -- ever! Therefore, it is generally discouraged of pulling straight back, whether in setting the hook or in removing the fly from a high snag, say in a tree. <br /><br />-Tom<br />Tom Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240935660681343164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952460912398461727.post-31464760275297707012012-11-29T04:45:25.394-08:002012-11-29T04:45:25.394-08:00Tom, question from a noob: on the tight quarter s...Tom, question from a noob: on the tight quarter stream, is it not possible to set the hook by pulling the rod back in line almost like a strip set? I know that doesn't use the power of the lever, but it might get the hook sunk by taking any slack out. Maybe I'm envisioning this incorrectly.<br /><br />Nice fish!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066199096697118836noreply@blogger.com
