Confuscius say When casting keep cigarette firmly planted between lips 😉
A friend's brother had just bought a brand new expensive plug for fishing a section of Lake Huron (called Rockport) where you have to cast out a ways to get to the fish (this was in the hey day of the trout and salmon in the 70's). He was smoking a cigarette, and as the plug flew out uncoiling the line from his spinning reel, the end of his cigarette caught the line and it melted and separated. Expensive lure and line just kept on going line and all. Needless to say he was a little upset.
