Try using some figure "8"s and standing on the cleat, that should bring your
percentages up to 98%, LOL!!

The boat cleat suggestion was by me Bob, the foot on the line while over
top
of the cleat is a very, very important part of the technique. Try more
wraps
too.The deck shoe should be of the grippy type. Another way, for
spinning
reels, is to reel in tight while pointing the rod tip at the snagg and
the
rod well under the surface and only holding the reel skirt in your palm
with
a closed hand, nothing else, and just pulling. You can put a hell of a
lot
of strain on the line till it lets go like this.

Ah, I missed the foot on the cleat part. Not sure it would work 100%. I
usually wear waterproof hiking boots when I fish.
