1nstinct Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I was wondering is it just me, or after i have got snagged on a log(or w/e) and the hook has been bent straight out do you retie you knot or just keep fishing and not think twice about it? i always retie, didn't know if it was just a confidence booster or do a lot of people retie as well?

OHIO Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I would change the hook if it got bent straight out, so I'd have to retie. Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 9, 2011 Super User Posted May 9, 2011 When in doubt, retie. After catching two or three bass, retie. After throwing into strucure or cover check your line and retie. Fishing rocks, retie. Check your knot, too. 1 Quote
SausageFingers Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I retie quite a bit now. I've been lazy about it before and it's cost me. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted May 9, 2011 Super User Posted May 9, 2011 I snag rocks on almost every cast. I check my line religiously.It has cost me a few decent fish. Even if I'm not snagging on anything I still check it every few cast. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 10, 2011 Super User Posted May 10, 2011 A quick inspection and common sense will guide you. Change or retie if needed, or do nothing if not needed. Quote
