Tip #1 Use stong line > 30lb
Tip #2 Tension line then release, repeat.
Tip #3
Learnt from an old European pro .
You get a steel pipe diameter > the size of your rod and reel. Tie a stong sting to it and feed it around the rod n reel so in effect the steel then slides down your fishing line and down to the snagged jig. Then presto yank the string till your jig is free..
I've seen this technique use on a squid pole, where there is no reel.
The reason to use steel is because of the weight, PVC pipe might not work as well, perhaps u can add some weight to it??
