I've got a much better one than that.
Last sunday I had 6 guys aboard for a cod charter.
I'm using brand new Shimano Travela jiggin rods, paired with Shimano Torium reels, spooled with 65lb power pro.
I cast a 24 oz jig up current, the reel starts making some grinding noise, about a few hundred ft of line gets out and the reel locks up and the rod/reel flies out of my hands, straight down in 200 ft of water.
I hit a MOB on the plotter and we spend quite a while with another jig trying to snag it with no luck.
After a while I give up and am bummed as thats about $400 donated to the ocean.
We go back to fishing and are catching good size cod when one of the guys says "I've got a good one coming up"
I'm waiting with gaff in hand as he reels it up and to my amazement he snagged the jig of my rod that went to the bottom and I hand lined my rod & reel back in
The reel is off being rebuilt now !
