    That's a good way to ruin a reel. I have a buddy who does it that way and he can't for the life of him figure out why his drag slips.   OP, I usually pull out some extra line and lay my rod

    15# floro isn’t hard to break at the knot. 50# braid is

    No matter how many times a lure comes flying out of a tree and hits me or someone else I can’t help but laugh. It’s kind of like flatulence, it just never gets old

I've had to break off a few times recently and used the trick to wrap the line around something to pull, and it works great. I use the thick paracord fob on my keychain. It doesn't damage the line where I wrap it. 

 

I hate losing a lure, and I've been known to wade out there and manually retrieve a stuck lure.
