CJ is like that. If the fish gets into the trough, it rubs you off on the rocks.
As far as the shaking off, you must anticipate the jump. Watch your line, when where it enters the water starts to move twords the fish, it is coming up to jump. Raise your rod tip and try to keep the line tight.
Are you connecting your sinker with a short piece of line to the swivel? This helps to make it so the fish cannot use the leverage of the sinker swinging around less useful to the fish.
I have stopped fishing CJ because of the rocks. I prefer Salmon Falls Dam. The bottom is cleaner with less hang ups.
