I have a heck of time with poppers. Lots Of strikes, lots of misses. But I have taken to tying streamers on Aberdeen hooks. They are scary sharp and you get a positve hook set. Down side is that are they are light so you need a bead head or eyes to sink a streamer. Upside is this helps with the hook set.

I catch as many bass as bream and I don't Set the Hook on either one. I just let the fish take the bug/fly until I feel him then I lift the rod. The biggest thing is to keep pressure on the line at all times after their on, just a little slack and the hook falls out of their mouth. The small light barbless hooks most of us use for our UL fishing easily penetrates the tissue around a bass's jaw I don't feel setting the hook is needed.

You can always take the rod out of the equation by not lifting the rod to set the hook. If you more or less have the rod pointed at the fish and strip set with your stripping hand, you have removed the rod from the equation. The caution there is that the rod is your shock absorber for the tippet, so if you're using light weight tippet you can easily break off if you use too much force. Keeping hooks sharp and de-barbing them can definitely help. When I am streamer fishing on my 1wt I usually use 4X fluoro tippet so it has a decent tensile strength but is not overkill on an UL setup.

TC, I agree. Low tip to your line, leave it lying on water. Tension is tension, even with a wind bow or squiggles. Trying to lift much line with UL rod is a tough proposition.

I thought some old pics might spruce up this discussion not a bass but a nice brim on my one weight here's a nice Lake Athens bass caught on my 3 weight: (I was fishing for red ear brim at the time)

Hey Cliff Did you rub it in that Shannon's UNT is in the lowly Sunbelt Conference and LSU sits high in the Southeast? Football and fishing - I see parallels...

LSU is sitting pretty low right now after this football season.

No it didn't, because you're too cheap to buy a scale and you don't know what it weighed.

Bass on a UL sounds great.
