if youve snagged a lure get a drinks bottle and fill it up with pebbles, then tie line round the neck and a loop onto the mainline - hopefully youve a friend out with you. get them to stand at a height and make an angle - then shake the bottle down the line - as close as you are to the water or in a bit if youve the waders, works nearly half the time

wouldnt work for braid - but the stretching and contracting on the mono seems to do the trick
