No fumbling allowed -- Just need to focus on the fish. One line out eliminates the chance for a double hook up and theoretically cuts chances down by 50%. When I am vertical jigging I always have a second line out. Most of the time it is annoying and constantly getting tangled, but that one in ten days when it finds the school of Mahi that I otherwise would have missed makes it worth the annoyances.

Loosing a trophy was pretty heart breaking. Guys next to me were probably chuckling. .
Ill keep at it. This last loss may have been due when I tried to back off lever drag and momentarily put slack in line. I was trying to get a few winds on the other leader in water. If the two lines get wrapped, is it a done deal?
