Dumb misfortune doesn't just happen with the inexperienced angler. Just this last fall, I took my dad out. He picked up a rod, dug into my tackle box, picked my brand new $8 Rapala put it on the snap swivel, and casted. Only he forgot to close the snap swivel, and I watched my never been used expensive lure go flying up-up-up and away into the reeds....
