Unsnagging Baby Vibes

[crabby]

I remember reading awhile ago now about a way to unsnag vibes through tugging your line while tightend so the vibrations can set it free.

Anyone know the way to do it?

Thanks

If you feel that your about to get snagged dont tighten the line anymore. Just take up the slack till you feel slight tension and grab the line just above the reel in your thumb and forefinger pull it up and then let it go. That will send enough of a vibration down your line to the jig or lure that usually is enough to free it. It does work if done correctly, as long as you havent dug the hook in too much.

Hold a lure or jig in your fingers and get someone to do it, you will see how much of a vibration is sent down the line, its quite amazing. This technique has worked for me quite a few times now.
