Kory and I were anchored up and vertically jigging or casting and bouncing back to the boat, in about 40' of water. Twice, for some yet unknown reason, my line snapped somewhere on one of my rods. (I will be checking every one of the eyes with a Q-Tip.) This happened once during a hook set and happened another time right after reeling in. Each time this happened, within a couple minutes, Kory reeled in a fish with both his jig and my jig in its mouth.Not fun to have a line break. I would also check your reel for any sharp edges, nicks, rough areas, etc.. I had some unexplained line breaks once that I traced to a designed part of the reel that happened to have a sharp edge I hadn't noticed. The two jigs in one fish makes a good fish story. Tight lines!
