Hi GA,
Not wanting to speak for Rich, but I've found that if you get wrapped around
a couple of rushes or such, a sharp yank will pull the Fireline clean
through.
What's the make of the sharpener? I'm always on the look out for a good
model, and so far the best I've seen is from www.klawhorn.com.

The make of the sharpener is spyderco.
If the hooks in your lure get caught in weeds is there a way of using fireline
to more easily free it up?
