If I can't pull it free with a decent amount of force (not enough to throw me out of the yak, I just cut it)
Before that though, I loosen the drag and paddle to the other side of the snag (I mostly get snagged on lobster pots and can usually just pull up the line and free the snag as long as no crazy lobstermen are around that think I am screwing with thier pots)
