Avoiding Snags

[MichaelAngelo]

Hey guys, share your tips on avoiding snags while shore fishing!

Here's what I try to do
-No treble hooks unless I'm off a dock and the weeds are light. Single hooks work, they really do. All the big spinnerbaits that pike love use single hooks, nobody's trying to put a treble on those

-If I get snagged first thing I do is I don't pull on the rod any more, that's going to make it worse. Grab the line infront of the spool and pull it, let go and let it spring back. Do this a few times and it just might be able to pop your hook backwards enough to loosen the snag.

-I remember where I snagged and stay away from the bottom or from that direction when I cast again.

My question to the experts:
-When fishing a spoon, often the best action "wobble" happens at a slow retrieve... usually so slow that you're grazing the bottom. Is this a problem you guys run into? Am I running the wrong types of spoons?
