563, Steeing the hook

Does it really make a differance to sweep your rod to the side instead of setting it straight up when using a swimbait?

Probably not for the hookset itself, but for me it's easier to pin the fish after the hookset if I already have it out to my side. Otherwise, your rod is straight up and down, and IMO it's harder to pull the fish toward the boat. Might be different for you, but that's the easiest way for me.
