Hunt and Fish Finders

I'm probably not the most knowledgeable guy as far as hook setting, and different fish species goes. It used to be, that we'd just tell each other, when some tugs were evident, "Just wait till your rod bends double. Then pick it up!"

Maybe I ought to know more about it. Sometimes with various species of fish, I've jerked and there was just nothing there. Is there more to it so that the Circle and/or Kahle hooks are positioned properly?

Half the time I suspect I wouldn't know a "hit" if they were beating my hiney with a bass fiddle.
Thanks
Sawyer
