Thank you gentlemen.

That spells out the entire rationale for my brand of hangback "flossing" for legitimate biters.

Kind of interesting to see all the folks coming out in defense of brazen flossing on Ifish, yet when I first posted my hangback method on that board a couple years ago, I was the one labelled the snagger.
