i probably caught 60 silvers last season with that "technique" as you call it....And yes you can call it that..... and not a single fish was foul hooked.... snagging is snagging.... and jigging for silvers is just that... jigging for silvers

i do open my mouth and tell snaggers to beat feet or get beat. its not cuz i think i am bad ass or think that i am the law.... its cuz its the right thing to do....

but just as fast.... i would give some "cracker" a mouthfull if he accused me of snagging while i am jigging silvers. if you dont know how to hook em up with that method, then fine... but dont go calling people snaggers that arent snaggers. this gets re-hashed every silver season when you get new members whose mouths preceed there learning curve.
