Sometimes while fishing near brush there is nothing that can be done about losing a few hooks but your story about letting it sit and a fish unhooking it from the brush is a good thing to try again. Do you fish with one pole or more? If you fish with a second rod, you could always let the one pole set, maybe with a rock on top of it[
], then use your second pole. There are plastics you could use, that you could rig weedless style and it will reduce the chances of them getting hung up in the brush. A lot of bass fisherman fish this style but there is nothing that I know that is 100% snag proof. Hope that helps and post a report of your next fishing trip, on either the Missouri board of the Freshwater fishing board, thanks.
