A good way to prevent line breakage

July 25th 2008 00:50

It sound gross but after you get a snag or battle a heavy fish, take the last couple feet of your line and run it between your lips to check for nicks.

Your lips are going to be a LOT more sensitive than your fingers.

If you feel something, cut the line and retie everything!

Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

Nice tip, I have seen people doing that before. Not sure I would do it, but it works.
