You guys are missing the point about snagging, flossing, and extra long leader. Snagging is when you hook a fish any where else except the head area. And is is done by setting the hook at random and intentionally. However some fish are initially hooked on the mouth but then gets snagged as the hook is released and catches the body. An the theory of flossing is totally false. Think about it, its just simple physics. The only flossing being done should be at the point b/w the main line and the lead, because this junction is the only thing that can flow diagonal with the current. Your leader no matter does not have a cross flow with the current. Your leader and lead is flowing with the current no matter where you are drifting. The long leader works best because your hook is at the same level as the fish. This is because of the water condition (ie. depth and flow rate).
