Something I will do is let the bass tire out till its near exhaustion.. Lets say I set the hook, I'll let it take out some line, then just hold it there for a while and let it stuggle and struggle... When I feel that it's tired out I begin reeling it in.... this way its not trashing around in the shallow rocks. I still lose some, but I believe the more tired the bass is, the less its going to try to wrap around the rocks.
