The complete opposite of that would be when you can see the fish following your lure FOREVER and it's almost at your feet.  You're thinking "no no no, just give it some more time" then it reaches your feet and the salmon casually swims away.  Talk about a tease.

This sums up almost my entire season last year...

i use a light/medium action trout rod for my coho on the vedder. i like the wet noodle feel of a rod.
7 foot length and i use 8 lb test. ive only snapped off on the rare coho that finds its way to rocks and frays the line. other than that its really fun with the loose drag and wet noodle.

Thanks, I have that set up but it seemed light.

try this:  with a pair of needle nose plyers put a slight offset in the hook for a deeper hook set
