[quote name='ALuunatic' post='10053' date='Mar 26 2008, 02:46 PM']I've lost 3 jigs to snags and don't feel like wasting too many more. Sometimes they'll come loose if caught on weed. Other times I just have to grab the rod, walk backwards and wait till the line snaps.
I feel scared every time I let it sink to the bottom.
I've got the line running to a snap swivel and then just attach and change the jig on the end as I please. Is this the correct setup?[/quote]
This is a little trick I learned from my dad.. When you get snagged, Do not continue to put pressure or pull on the line. Get the biggest weight/sinker u have and attach it to the main line. Let the sinker slide down on the line towards the snagged lure. Hopefully the weight of the sinker will knock the squid jig loose from whatever its snagged on, since squid jigs dont have barbs on the hooks..I remember seeing some of these unsnagging weights somewhere online before to purchase. Hope this helps you
