I've lost a few good ones. I think I wrote about one here I called "The Mexican Standoff ".

Anyway , I lose much fewer jigging than plugging. People can speculate as to why but I think its the single hook. for the most part either you have them or not. I think with plugs , especially with multiple trebles , you get a piece of a lot mopre fish but don't always get a solid hook up.

There is also the problem of the last 10 feet. I lost plenty when I first started in the last few feet. That doesn't happen much anymore but it still happens.

I typically just say a few swear words and try to hook up with another. Its not your fish until you land it so no need to commit suicide over it.
