Having the proper rodholder on board will make this a NON-issue.

Nearly every rodholder on the market requires you to push forward with the rod (to free it from the holder) before you can pull back to regain tension on the line. That momentary slack has cost EVERYBODY fish (don't be bashful about fessin' up dudes) at one point or another.

Can't help putting in a "plug" for the FOLBE rodholders at this point in the thread. Until you see one in action, it's difficult to imagine how efficient and automatic a plug hookup will be ever after.

FOLBE

Check 'em out. Seeing is believing!
