]Hey Sugarbear1 welcome to the board, a trick I use if I lose or break or use a pole I dont have an indicator on is put a finger on the line next to the reel while holding your pole, you will feel the resistance and be right on the hook set, when you first start doing it you will have to get used to the resistance your jig is giving you, then after that any additional resistance or lack of resistance above or below that you will feel as a hit, and be able to emmediatly set the hook. I have tought my kids that trick so they are more into the feel of it then the visual. I believe it gets you more hook ups that way. [cool]
Good luck.
