The god also has a few gremlin friends that help, such as Lobsta traps, huge weeds, mussel beds, discarded rope, humongus starfish and other heavy objects.

Added to all that the current runs so fast one cannot salvage a lure due to errant casting or if the almighty srtiped bass decides to wrap you around his favoritwe boulder!
