Absolutly no need for it.
Just give the fish a bit of time to take the bait then reel in. Easy.

It probably depends on the type of fish - I give flounder, codling plenty of time to take the bait, but if its Bass I find they often drop the bait immediately they find some resistance, many a time if I had not struck to set the hook they come off on the retrieve.
I would think that if fishing for sea trout the same would apply.

I think it's a bit of a can't answer question, up to the individual
and the fish.
