Stump Puller Two
I asked about stump pullers a while back. Somebody suggested taking a few
wraps around a boat cleat and backing off the boat. With four diagonal
wraps the line just slipped around the cleat when I tried it with some Stren
Super braid. I had to do a couple over and back ties to get it to work.
Then it broke at the cleat instead of at the bait. I think I'll stick with
my piece of shovel handle wrapped with duct tape.

| The boat cleat suggestion was by me Bob, the foot on the line while over top
of the cleat is a very, very important part of the technique. Try more wraps
too.The deck shoe should be of the grippy type. Another way, for spinning
reels, is to reel in tight while pointing the rod tip at the snagg and the
rod well under the surface and only holding the reel skirt in your palm with
a closed hand, nothing else, and just pulling. You can put a hell of a lot
of strain on the line till it lets go like this.

| Ah, I missed the foot on the cleat part. Not sure it would work 100%. I
usually wear waterproof hiking boots when I fish. |

| Ultimately that is what I did when I tried it. I flipped it over twice just
like I was tying the boat off to a dock, and it did break, but it broke at
the cleat. |

| I have to admit it sounds like a great idea. I only tried it once, and it
didn't work too well that one time. I'll just keep my regular stump puller
in the boat. |
