hey bossman I dont go out fishing with the intention of snagging, what I 'm saying is that when you cast in a school of fish, alot of the times the hook finds a soft part of there side unintentional. I never just jerk away or at all like alot of people who go there snagging but mainly reel it in real slow. actually fish and catch a good portion in the mouth but the set up is so deadly I usually catch more fish than anybody around me. I have talked to game wardens on several occasions and all they say is "those are some sweet jigs you tie up there". and ask me how I get the heads to glow in the shade with minimal darkness.
