I've never done it. When we snag a bunker we usually reel it in and live line it back out on a different rod.

Snag and drop says it all.Snag and then let the wieghted snagger pull the bunker down were the bass are waiting for an injured meal.You are already in the zone so don't reel it back to the boat.Bait runner spinning reel is a good way to go.Let the bass run and then engage the reel and wait until it puts a bend in your rod and then set the hook.With a a circle hook you let the bass come tight and then reel with out setting the hook!
