agreed..overnight setting is pointless your baits will last an hour max anyway..plus any hooked fish will either get off,get eaten,or die and get liced out..plus if a school of eles came through you could hook large numbers and they would go to waste..better to use a rod and reel..more chance of catching anyway because you can keep fresh baits ticking over and much more rewarding and fun.
