I guess one of the biggest differences is that I stop and retrieve a hung lure and so far this year I haven't lost many. In years previous I lost a lot in fact I felt like I had stock in the Bandit company. I am pretty sure the guides don't stop to retrieve a lure. It is a choice to be sure but I have the time to try and when I use braid I put on leather gloves and bring in what ever I hung or straiten the hooks. I have lost 4 or 5 lures this year and 3 were to Gar. I am also the only one in the boat so I normally am able to keep tangles to a minimum.
