I try not to get upset when myself or someone with me hangs up. Often the best spots to cast to are under that tree limb or next to that fall down. Fishing is the same as realestate - it's all about the location location location!
I bought some lure retrievers which are basically a piece of lead with a paperclip attached to it. You thread the paperclip around your line then just let the lead fall, the weight of the lead hit the lure, hopefully dislodging it. It saves tons of time and actually works!!! You can buy them at walmart.
One last tip, my favorite lures are rapalas. Go to www.rapala.com and they have video tips for their lures to best utilize them. I learned alot!!! The videos are about 15 minutes long and have no commercials cause, really, the whole video is a commercial. But the information is really good.
They also have a tshirt I HAVE to buy!! It shows a rapala lure and it say - take a fish boating! lmao!!!!!!! I think I'll put that as my sig line

OMG I have had to cut so many nice lures from getting hung up and I'm very good at casting. Sometimes the wind grabs it, the drag is loose or you just miss your swing. OR you snap something under water.
Does anyone have Ollies close? I was there the other day and picked up some nice lures. They also had nice rods and reels for 20 bucks. A lot of nice stuff cheap and if it gets caught or breaks you're not out a bunch of money.
