pulling out of snags with braid

[Daz]

Use a hammer shaft.

 

[Codcodcod!]

Put your right hand up the rod, turn the rod 2 or 3 times so the braid runs over your coat (Not your bare skin) and move your rod back a meter!

Type, Berkley big game 65lb b/s, rubbing leader, yes, pulling out of a snag, wrap round arm if not botherd about slicing smock etc, alternatively wind down as if getting ready to "strike" in an old skool stylee then yank and wind yank and wind until the angle becomes so great rod tip snaps!
go home, go online and start a thread about how crap S~nik/Gr~ys rods are because they snap.. sorted
