That's the biggest line-snag I've personally ever seen, and I've brang in some monsters :eek:. Great job on getting it out!. My personal best ball of 40lb cat line netted me 3 rogues 3 shad raps, a Husky Jerk or too, and a whole bunch of jig heads.

Heard some crazy stories about guys bringing in snagged casnets below O'Shay that were drapped with all kinds of lures. My buddy said it more or less look like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve o_O

(Ex) Protip: If you do happen to tie into a nasty line snag slowly real the snag as tight as you can, then lower your rod to waist level and aim it right up a snag. Now phisically lock up the spool (spinning) with your hand, then, pulling straight back, bounce the rod rhythmically. Eventually the line should pull out of the snag and/or break. Make sure you keep the your line fairly tight at all times. I get out of three quarters of all line snags using this technique, way more effective than the old snap and twist.

Best part of all this. I was with him and one of the lures I'm absolutely positive was mine. (I could provide a receipt) :p and he wouldn't give it back. Judge Judy here I come! Actually if I recall he saw me lose it even. The olive shad rapala crank from the bargain bin at Buckeye Outdoors. Hmmm.
