Fishing Reel Holders

Help I Keep losing fish?

Today i was fishing with my 1/0 Octopus circle hooks (I recently asked a ? similar to this). i was using slices of hot dogs and i like to try and conceal the hook. But everytime a fish starts running with my bait i pick up my rod from my rod holder and it just spits the bait, its like the hooks aren’t setting. I’ve heard don’t set the hook with circle hooks, but i don’t get how you don’t do this because when i reel in fish i naturally just raise the rod tip…which is basically like SETTING the hook. I realize not to pick up the rod and yank upward, but i still raise the rod tip. when i first got these Octopus circle hooks i had no problem with losing fish. but recently i went fishing probably about 5 times in the past 3 weeks and i have lost at least 6 fish (either carp or cats). I am getting really frustrated, and also is there any good alternatives for baiting hot dogs like trying maybe a treble or something.

I agree with the answer before mine but also, you should try loosening the drag so it is really easy to pull off the reel, then when something grabs it, give it some time to mouth it around and get it in it’s mouth (wait maybe 5 seconds) set the hook while holding the line, and then tighten the drag down, you may be pulling it out of there mouths before the hook gets into the sweet spot.
