PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Tackleback - Page 2
tackle backs work well vertical or close to vertical, unless the line/lure has done a couple of laps around the snag, or the snag is fishing line or net, when they don't work so well.
If you want to get an idea of how they might work when casting from the shore, try an experiment on dry land with the same sorts of angles. I doubt the tackleback would get to the lure, chain or no chain, unless the snag is close and the angle of the line deep.
Maybe an option is to go from lipless crankbait (gotta love them Yanks) to a soft plastic rigged hook up
Can't beat an 8', 2 piece handspear with a pigs tail on it. I have one in my boat and it is very rare that I can't get it back, so I also carry a heavy tackleback for when it's too deep for the pole. So far I have never lost a lure with these 2 on the boat. The pigs tail is way easier to use out of the boat, in wind or current it can be damn awkward to get the boat in the right position for the tacklebacks. Berkley's make a very cheap one with chain on it, but it can be a tad light in some cases.
