About 12" of 80lb braid and two key rings. I've used it 3 times only once on myself, I think it's a must have tool especially if you fish alone.

I recently did the same thing and had to use my hook pulling tool I made. By the looks of that hook placement it would have worked good and saved a doctor visit a good day on the water.

Had a great day on the lake yesterday with my favorite fishing partner (My Wife) we caught alot of fish nothing big or picture worthy but we had a blast together. I am so grateful after 31 years we still enjoy every moment that we can spend together. On a side note as part of helping to control my stress level she has prescribed a standing order that I have to go fishing a minimum on once a week. I Love Dr. Dee (My Wife) not a real doctor

OMG tell your buddy he wins

If you fish alone you need to make one these.

Actually I made a tool 2 years ago posted a picture on here of it. it's 2 key rings with 80 lb braid on it may just for these situations in case you're fishing alone and you don't have somebody with you to help you with the string trick. I've used it three times now but this is the first time I had to use it on myself and it worked great.

Well it finally happened, square bill stuck on branch yanked it, popped it, yanked it again man them things can really fly.

Another thing you may want to try is when setting the tension knob as the bait starts to drop, slowly tighten it until it stops the bait. I do this when fishing in the wind and it works great.

Do you over head cast? If so try changing your casting angle, I fish senkos, zoom fluke sticks and yum drinker weightless all the time I use a 2 o'clock down to a 4 o'clock casting angles. The biggest thing is practice.

It depends on how my day goes. I hope to get out a couple days this week.

Just came off the lake, another slow bite but did pick up another big girl 6.6

Sam when are y'all coming down to practice?

Yes the pads are up especially in the back of the creek they're starting to fill in in the other areas as well.

Made it out on the lake for a few hours today and picked up my PB 6.9

I just came back from the campground, do know the rock pile on the right just before you go under the bridge with the metal pole sticking up out of it, well you can see the first rock now

I was at our place in Lake Chesdin Campground cleaning the lot yesterday and the water look to be high and muddy at this end of rhe lake. Did you have any luck?

Don't know if it works for the iPhone but I use photo & picture resizer from Google play store

Yes it's more for memory

What type do you use I've tried Reel Magic it seem to me it weaken the line.

The reason for the question in the title is this. I have 4 rods that I don't keep on the boat that I grab when I go out with someone else on their boat, well while I was get things together for my outing this weekend with my friend he called to see what I was doing and I told him that I hadn't fished with these rods this season yet so I was stretching the kinks out of the line. His response was WHAT!!! I've never heard of such a thing. I can't remember where I heard or read about doing this but I know I did. So who else does this or am I just wasting time.

I go by what my father told me a long time ago "don't argue with children no matter if they are 5 years old or 50 years old you can't win"

The only thing I can add is this. When the fishing is tough, your not hitting your targets, getting hung up constantly just having a bad day, put every thing down take a good long look around and think how lucky you are to be on the water and how much you Love this sport.

I was a better fishermen when I used my big eye scale

I go with fluke stick

I switched to 30lb braid with fluorocarbon leader works great
