i just think it is funny that 85% of the bank anglers at the cow use long leaders. hey, whatever floats your boat. but why do the 85% jerk at the end of their drift on every cast? give me a frickin brake. i know at times there are fish STACKED in there, but you cant tell me that a fish picked up your lure on every cast. LEARN THE BITE! thats where all the damn snagging happens.
