landing mishaps
 
Sometimes i get the fish real close to landing and the line snaps. This happens
a lot when i'm bymyself. I have to stop the drag and then the fish takes off
and the line snaps. Should I be applying the drag differently on landing the
fish. Crankbaits are lost as well as the fish.

What type of line? What size? How old is your line?

Take up knitting - immediately. Change your name to "Sweater Builder" Or "Gone
Blanketing". Knitting is in season all of the time and a lad won't be harassed
by a CO for improper yarn or technique. Those rabid raccoons can't get you in
the comfort of your asylum. Any broken knitting needles can be returned to
Walmart without a problem. They are all about customer service, you know.
