James RickardHow to recover snagged lures

If you fish from shore or around a lot of cover, snags are a fact of life. I've even gotten snagged while fishing in a boat because the bottom came up faster than expected owing to unfamiliar waters.
There's not much worse than breaking your fishing line and losing one of your favorite lures.

Just remember, if you're going to employ anything you just saw, you'll need strong line. Although you may think 45 lb. line is excessive, you need it to pull fish from weedy areas and the strength is a bonus when you try to shake a snag. Don't forget you can use braided line to achieve added strength while using a smaller diameter line. Finally, after a snag, I always check my knot and look for any line abrasions.
Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
