[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5680729, member: 19427"] Somebody mentioned a worm weight in another thread and it immediately made me think of this. When I was a kid we lived on a golf course in Florida for a few years. We had a golf cart that I would take to the ponds to bass fish. One evening I was throwing a worm on a bullet weight and it got snagged on a rock about 6 inches under the surface. I couldn't walk to the other side of the snag to get it loose so I just started pulling trying to break it off. I was using a rod I snook fished with so I think I had 17 or 20lb mono on a baitcaster. I couldn't get the line to break so I got the bright idea to thumb the spool and walk backwards down the bank. The line stretched until it was about to break but instead of breaking, the hook straightened. The weight and rest if my rig came flying back like a rifle shot and whacked me right in the sack. I went down and rolled down the bank and was incapacitated for about 5 minutes. [/QUOTE]
