The other day a guy's plug snapped off and sailed out some distance. Three casts later I had retrieved his plug for him. Another time I retrieved a guy's keys from a channel and another time a guy's fishing rod/reel combo. Probably couldn't have done it if it were my own that I had lost.
What's your hook-up ratio been like?

I'm pretty good...only missed one (it was a MAC canal special...ouch). If I can't snag em, I try swimmin!

Got one and missed one tonight, guess my braid did need to be replaced:crying:. Nice to have a tight line again, should have bought more bigfish pencils though.

It takes me a bunch of casts but I usually get it back, unless its real windy and my line bows a lot.

Ive only lost one in a breachway. Tide was cranking out and my AH pencil went cruisin towards block island somehting quick. If i had another rod handy i could have caught it but i had to rerig.
