My brother sent this to me earlier. I have fought with bird's nests all my life- especially when it's windy. This looks a lot more interesting than what i usually do- invent new cuss words and phrases.

This absolutely works. I posted this, or a similar video in another thread. I have only used a baitcaster for a year, and I assure you it works. However, it does damage the monofilament line.

know what ya meen, whin i'd be fishing here in Texas with friends an hove one of them thar bird nest's, they happen quite frequent... they called it a profesional over ride, lol, think they twas trying ta make me feel better... i ususaly ended up using me pocket knife... all the sales people like me at the bait shop though, while ever one else tis buy bait, i'm buy line... lol

I've used that method a lot and found it works great. Saves lots of frustration.

a buddy took me fishing once whin getting into his boat, he asked why u taking 4 fishing rods? explained that way don't have ta take time ta break & retie line to put different lures on.. we swong around inta a cove with some stump's, told him this looks like a good spot.. after about 20 minnutes of fishing he turned around ta cast, seen me messing with one of me reels, asked what ya doing, looked at him & said professional over ride, he shook his head, pointed ta oe of me other reels, use that one.. cann't it's hung up on that thar stump... what about that one? it's hung up on a stump over thar, pointing ta the other side of the boat.. what about that one? professional over ride, & it's hung up in the tree up yonder.. wish i would have had a video camera that day...
