Jigs not so much, but I had a favorite rod go over and I fell to the deck to grab it and just brushed it with my fingertips. No thought involved, over the side I went. My partner in the boat said he couldn’t have called for help as he was speechless! I grabbed the rod and headed up without my phone, shades, and wallet in my pocket that took two days to dry out…….but I had my rod. Still have it. It was 23fow so I would have never seen it again. Best reel I’ve ever owned too.
