Seems like the YT and WSB will bite and feel the bait with their lips and make sure it feels right and then swallow it several seconds later. If you pull too soon you'll pull the bait before it was swallowed. I've reeled in many crushed baits that I pulled on too soon. 5 seconds feels like 20 when the clicker is singing. And then sometimes after the fish gulps the bait the hook will still find a way to slip out without finding a lip to sink into. When I say pull I really mean put the reel in gear and let the rod load up itself. But I really don't know about what I just said, anyone?
