Always Getting Snagged :( Any advice?

[joey heller]

Try using lighter lures. If you using 1/4 oz try 1/8 oz and so on

Too many variables for me to give a specific answer. The best advice I can give is go with someone else that is willing to teach you.

Start 3' from the edges and work your way to maybe 1' away. Hungry fish will attack without you getting snagged. Of course sometimes the fish rushes out, grabs your bait, and swims back in.

Some fisherman believe you will not catch fish unless you are losing a few baits. That may be true, but I don't intentionally try to get hung up either.

There so many u-tube videos on most all lure setups and how to use them. Give them a try.

What kind of knot are you tying and what kind of line are you using? That accompanied with the correct weight of bait may assist you in losing less lures. There are better lines out there for abrasion resistance. Braid is great for strength but is easily cut on rocky bottoms. Learn a great knot and learn to tie it well. Always wet the line before you cinch it down as you might be burning your line and causing weakness. Just some ideas!!!

It is a floating bail and I have anything from bass and bluegill to trout and walleye and even some pike up to 36 inches. If you reel it until it makes contact with the bottom it will usually deflect of obstacles. When it does hang up, you can usually give some slack and it will float out. Good luck! My favorite is the yellow version, but there are a variety of colors available.
