Snagging idea

anyone ever try this? or how do you snag?

Yes. I did that very thing last year, but it did not work too well. I did not have a weighted treble so I snagged them with a cast master, then thought that I could do better with the two trebles. Ended up taking the front one off.

I use a high low snag rig when snagging bait. Weighted treble on the bottom, un-weighted treble about 14" above that. Works pissah from the kayak.

good to know guys, thanks. So a weighted treble is now on my list for the RISAA show.
