I have had the same problem as you are discribing, when I fish the Bear. Looking back now I think that I don't wait long enough before I set the hook. I have been told to open the bail and let the fish swim away with the bait. I have never tried this. Have you? I also catch plenty of smaller fish but not the biger ones. I wonder if waiting to set is part of the answer?
