when we r catfishing at night, i keep some line in my pocket. when someone goes off to pee, i tie the line to their line, and sit in my chair. when they r not looking i tug it a lil, and after they get ticked off they always seem to just jerk it and crank the reel like crazy.... witch in turn they reel up all my line i dropped and makes a mess!! "i always have a back up rod for them".
