I AM THOR

[ironbjorn]

I was fishing a 3/8 oz War Eagle with a 3.75 Rage Swimmer trailer when I didn't notice that my line wrapped around the tip of my Champion XP with a Shimano SLX XT when I jerked the bait out of veggies near the shoreline. I went to cast again and instead of the bait flying off into the distance my rod jerked out of my hand. It somehow, someway, helicopter spinned above my head and I caught it in mid air with finesse like Thor catching his hammer. Pure talent, guys.

Glad you caught it.

I've done that same type of deal a few times.

Usually it because I knocked the rig out of my own hand on the cast or something similar.

Fish fingers may have been a contributing factor.

Either way, it's not a Thor type feeling for me, more like a first class spazoid. 

Afterwards, while trying to play it off and look like Joe Cool, I do the old 'look around'

to see if anyone saw what had to look like a full body wretch.

Too bad it wasn’t captured on film, lol. Must have felt pretty cool. ?

My biggest concern with tip wraps is that I'll get bit if the lure is still in the water. Good way to break a rod tip when you instinctively set the hook.

Now I wanna try….

Once or twice I've literally just chucked my rod into the lake by accident. It looked more Billy Madison than Thor, though.

[The Baron]

I’ll bet your face didn’t look like Thor for a few seconds there. ??

me and a buddy were racing to get our kayaks in the water and fish against eachother...in my haste I got all harry potter with my rod movements and let a spinnerbait rip. Well I heard a snap and watched as my favorite spinnerbait launched across the pond and into a bunch of bushes up a steep bank. I looked for 15 minutes and couldnt find it and my buddy beat me. Was a sad day. Tip wraps sucks.
