It happened to me a couple of times. This one wasn't brand new but it ended up about 50 yards out and after only 4 casts with a modified pencil popper{several extra trebbles}I snagged it.
My brand spankin' new first time cast of a sweet needle picked up at last years MSBA show{c'mon March!!!}, the wind gusted up in my face while I of course tried to sail it across the sound with my conventional. Twing!!! Not having my trusty popper, and being that the water was all the way up to 62 degrees, and not wanting to be out that cash, I took the lomgest, coldest, and most rewarding swim of my life.
