Practice makes perfect! But not always when you are fishing. Feeling a fish bite, or fish on, takes practice. With some fish you pull rod tip up just enough for the hook to set into the fish on the other end of your line. With other fish you wait for them to catch themselves. And then there are fish that hold on to what they bite and there are other fish that mouth and taste before choosing to eat or say "neaah!, awful" and spit out or let go.
You can learn when and how to set a hook. Try set hook immediately on seeing line, float, bait move or disappear. Time hook set attempt a split second earlier or later. Find out what works.
Talk with other fishermen about the fish you are going for. Setting hook timing, styles. Hooks, bait, floats, bobbers, strike indicators. Etc.
And it seems you have a jig with an inch and a half tube on it? Attach a line and hook to the very end of your lure in an attempt to hook on to fish that may be nibbling on the end of your lure set up. Or buy jig and second hook set up from your local tackle shop.
