In the grand scheme of things I'm still fairly new to tying panfish jigs and panfish fishing. Today I went 2/6. The 2 I got where a small sunfish and a half pound bass. The fish I lost all bit my jig and were on for about 2 seconds then I lost them. I was mostly fishing with a 1/32 ball head jig with a #6 matzuo sickle hook. I was using a 5'4" Fenwick Silverhawk UL mod. fast with 4lb fluorocarbon. From what they felt like all the fish I lost were fighting like 8-10 inchers. Both sunfish and perch.

I have a feeling it's my rod? Maybe my hook set? I just gave it a little "trout" hook set. Or maybe my drag was too high but I pretty sure I set it on the lower end.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
