I dropped one of my ultralight spinning outfits over the side this spring in 25 feet of water. I didn't even bother punching a waypoint. Kissed it goodbye since we were moving at 1.0mph. We were long lining with jigs no more than 12 feet deep and all of a sudden one of them went down. My buddy reeled it up with my rod and reel attached.
I drag up 3-4 outfits a year but most are rarely worth bringing in the boat. Some times they are. Got a Shimano reel on Falcon rod a couple of years ago and one of my clients dragged in a high-$$ Okuma spinning outfit in May. It was his to keep but he was surprised I let him have it.
Sometimes we just get lucky. Sometimes not.

It's better to be lucky than good sometimes. Yikess and I were pulling cranks on Grenada. I noticed a chartreuse bandit floating in the water. We swung over and picked it up. There was fishing like attached. We pulled it up and a fishing rod and reel on the other end

I was being rear-ended by my father in law at the rez one day- basically playing "gatekeeper" of the livewell. He was smoking me like an illegal Cuban. To top it off, I kicked a brand new Sam Heaton in the water that had a small spinning reel on it- which caused it to sink.
5 minutes and 10 fish later, my father in law hooks another fish and is yelling for the net. I told him he could put the net somewhere, and it wasn't in the water...
He commences to catching a 15" sow AND my new pole.
I had to talk him outta releasing the pole so it could live to fight another day.
