What If You Snapped Off A Brand New Hunk Of Wood?
You just tied on a brand new wooden plug......it has not even seen water yet and you cast and all of a sudden...."SNAP"!  The plug splashed down about 100 yards out and you can see it floating, its a summer day and you have 3 options:
1.) Try Casting out to try and snag it! 
2.) Chalk it up as a loss! You can make more! 
3.) Swim For it! 
I pick 3!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

A couple of years ago I was fishing in Maine for a week and the wife and kids came friday for the weekend. They showed up at 3 in the morning where I was fishing (T and gave me some bombers that came in the mail and coffee (theres a reason I love her). Tied on a black bomber and dinged it off on the first cast. Did'nt even look for it. At low tide when the sun came up I'm walking back and lo and behold there it is lying on the sand. And I caught some fish too.

Like guys diving for golf balls at all the water hazards. They make a decent living too. |

Why are you "snapping off" the lures in the first place ? Did the bail close on the reel during the cast ? Did the shock leader knot get caught in the guide ? Did the line rub against the spool ? Did you crack a guide or get a burr on a guide ? Bad knot, Bad snaps or hardware ?
Seems like every one snaps off a lure sooner or later, why did your lure snap off ?
What are you doing to reduce or eliminate "lure snap off" ?

Ya right.......
Larry everyone here who makes plugs is probably saying swim for it swim for it swim for it and they'll be at the auction, first in line, when your window has to sell off all the stuff in the shed. But hey if its close I'd say SWIM FOR IT. |

I snapped off a brand new Yozuri pencil 4 or 5 years ago in the canal. It was only out maybe 50' ( I nested one of my newells). Another regular says to me,"it isn't that far, you can probably get it". I looked at him and said " Nope, not me. But if you want it go for it" Needless to say he didn't go swimming either. I told him he was an A..hole for even suggesting I swim for it. There isn't a fishing lure made worth possibly drowning over. |
