? Best Automatic Hook Setter ?

[@dustinj7650]

Thanks for your video good to see a comparison between units. Last year was my first year fishing with the jigging jaw jacker. I didn't use it much, but on a lake with lots of fish, it pretty much outfished everyone. Of course I chose the hole, lure, rod, line, and bait, but the jigging jaw jacker did the rest! ; )

[@ReelMontana]

Thank you! The jigger outfishes ya often. Can make for some really fast paced fishing.

Great video! Just a heads up tho before you do an extensive video on the ht hookmaster do a little research on it… the proper way to set it up is with just the string thru the eye on the end of the board and then you have that row of holes in the board that lengthens and shortens the amount of string sticking past the eye which gives a bunch of adjustment for different length poles and different actions. The trigger arm isn’t supposed to be attached to the eye in the end of the base.

[@ReelMontana]

So I have been told. But I have had no luck with that method. Lost the pin and trigger once and missed tons of fish. ( because it never went off). Had the most luck with direct attachment of trigger to eyelet.

[@danmiller576]

Hey, whatever works for you! I have found I can actually hair trigger it with it set and adjusted properly but if it is that much harder to get set properly than the others then the last place is well deserved lol.

@@danmiller576 I have brought it back out this week. Gonna give it a little more time in the ice. Any suggestions on an adequate pole? I’m thinking a more appropriate pole would be beneficial

I was coming here to say the same thing.

Great review but obviously biased to the Jaw jacker. The jaw jacker has one major con, it's stupid expensive! And it's all plastic compared to metal HT strike pro. One aspect you did not rate all the hook setters by was price.

[@ReelMontana]

I'm going on 5 years with the jaw jackers and they are in my truck the whole ice season. We are on the ice 3-4 days a week and they work just as good now as day one. I rarely consider price when buying quality products. Those other jackers work but have no place in first. Ironically the only broken jacker I have is the ht striker pro. Keep an eye on the trigger assembly would never stay together and finally lost the pieces.

Thanks, bud!

[@PoserdaveOutdoors]

I made my own pvc one but it's not the best for sure, haha

[@ReelMontana]

I was gonna make my own until I used the jigging jaw Jacker. Then I realized a homemade one wasn’t worth my time. Lol

@ timestamp 1:41 through 1:47 . You used the HT Hookmaster hookset system WRONG / INCORRECTLY!! The very first system you reviewed, #6. The metal trigger ISN'T supposed to be hooked/looped to the metal eye-bolt at the end of the board!! The black string goes through the eye-bolt at the end of the board. That's all. The Metal trigger & metal eye-bolt SHOULD NOT be touching! The black string goes through the eye-bolt ONLY. On each end of the Black String is a metal piece. One end the metal trigger & the other the metal pin. the metal pin stands up, in any one of those holes in the wood board. & the trigger goes to the end eyelet of your rod. The black string is tight under pressure from your rod when set correctly. And all those holes in the board are for adjustment. The holes & metal pin that stands upright and is attached to that black string are the adjustable components. & the holes are for different rod lengths!! Or rod actions!! I wish I could post a picture. Because I have a brand new in the package HT hookmaster & a JawJacker & a HT QuickStrike & a HT StrikerPro. AND the front of the packaging of the HT Hookmaster shows you how to properly & correctly set the HT Hookmaster. (I have all these systems because I own/operate a Sporting Goods store that caters to ice fishermen.) If u had looked at the front of the packaging you would have been able to possibly given each system a non-bias opinion. Especially the HT Hookmaster.

[@ReelMontana]

Lol. So people have said. But after the trigger falling in the water I moved past that theory.

[@detectvt9849]

@@ReelMontana there is no theory. You are using it wrong. The parts/pieces wouldn't fall in the water if you were using it correctly.
