Don't pull a snagged jig from the side of the yak in the ocean

If I absolutely can't free a snag by passing over it the opposite way that I snagged up, I point the rod tip at the snag and continue pedaling away from it until my leader breaks. Sometimes the lure comes free this way and I save my gear.
I realize that probably isn't an easy task in a paddle kayak. That's my tried and true method.

Just add the step of throwing out some extra line so that your momentum causes the break and it works well.

Yep!

Just add the step of wrapping your line around something solid or you may damage your reel.
