OUCH! That's painful. I have lost two SS green back shads, one floating shad, one white SS shad, and one punker(dam gators). That does not include the soft plastics, MF, RS, and hudds.

skeeter76 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I snapped off a SS real deal last summer and I'm still a bit embarassed about how it went down. My braid locked up mid cast and snapped it off, landing about 40 feet away. I got a running start and launched myself off the front of the boat and was able to get to the broken end of the braid and save the bait. My buddy trolled over and drug me back into the boat. But I still have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still have it! I was fishing a local watershed shore only reservoir when I leaned back and launched a baby wake (before they were on the market) on flipping stick.. I heard a loud crack and watched two separate pieces of the rod fly about 15' in the water and my brand new first cast BW launch out into the blue yonder.. I stood there for a minute watching it bob up and down and then stripped down to the boxers and went for the swim.. no problem getting there.. on the way back I started thinking about the giant snappers we see. the tons of water snakes and how out of shape I'm in.. I didn't put my feet down till my stomach was scraping the sand.... I still have it.. my favorite BW by far.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerworm Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I lost a 8" hudd today, and the worst part was, I watched the 6+ pounder suck it in right before my line broke. Bad knot, way too hard of hookset with not a lot of line out, maybe a combo of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
