How to use "Lay the line" in context?
Lay the line is an immensely popular carp fishing strategy that is becoming more popular each year. It involves anglers positioning themselves just "off the bend" of a largemouth bass or tippet of good quality (preferably a 4-6 weight) so that the line can be thrown directly over the bass at the precise moment of strike. A long, smooth "throw" on a well-weighted line will cause the bass to instinctively lay down on the hook, resulting in a quick and sure catch.
There are several things that must come together in order for lay the line to be successful.
