There's a big difference...to me, where the hook ends up is pretty irrelevant...it's more the intent of the angler...or snagger, as the case may be.

If you are trying to get them to bite your offering, and they do...well, hard to argue that you aren't fishing.

If you are forcefeeding them the leader, and they don't bite the lure, and you're not even trying to get them to bite the lure...you're snagging.

Fish on...
