bad...Sure you can see down 30+ feet and see exactly what you are hung
on, but my eyes musta been playin' trix on me.

I said it was "rare" to actually get a hook snagged in rocks,, a hook,,
not the weight,, I'm sure you were fishing with a bare hook, or just a
soft plastic on it in, 30 feet of water, (yeah right) perhaps you were
using 4# test,, then you might break off before getting a "hook" loose
from rocks. Hooks do not bite into rocks, most are small enough if the
line can get through the cracks, then the hook can, now a bead, or a
swivel, they can easily get stuck in rocks, but mostly you weight hangs
up in rocks, well at least they did, we have pro's fishing rocky lakes
and pre fish and fish up to 3 tournaments on the same weight,, they look
like hell after three weeks of the rocks, but they are still snagless.
These pro's are not snagging their hooks either.


If you don't believe me, ask Bassdozer, some of you know him I think.
