Reminds me of a time in WA when I squeezed (squoze?) into a gear-intensive lineup at a little creek full of big ugly chum salmon. I was doing OK with one of those clear tip lines that has ten feet or so of transparent intermediate material at the end.
At least, I was doing OK until one of my fish decided to go downstream while the next guy's fish decided to go upstream. Chums are not easily convinced that they have picked the wrong direction, and clear tip lines are no match for monofilament! I finished the day with two feet of clear tip where there used to be ten.
Oddly enough, that adjustment was just what I needed to almost completely cut down on the foul hooking. After that I started to really do great instead of just OK!
