certainly is, tried every way to get it out after the first snag i though it was up was reeling fast as my feel would take it then my leeda assasin fixed spool give up and now makes a horrible grinding noise. think if i was using my multi i could of had it up and out

If you were fishing the right hand corner as you face the river then there is a double snag if you're casting to the right. If I ever cast that way and hit it I can get through the first one but get hung up on the next, I reckon its rope or a net as it's not solid and has a bit give but you never get out of it!
