Cut the line tie a bobber on and let it go and see if it comes out of the snag worked once for me in a boat but braid can also dig into snag deep and all effort is futile

Cut the line tie a bobber on and let it go and see if it comes out of the snag worked once for me in a boat but braid can also dig into snag deep and all effort is futile I'd definitely need a boat for that one... and a big bobber! I'd think the fish would just drag it under. What's "worked" for me so far is something I came up with myself. If a fish gets in a snag, I try all of the tips I've been given so far in this thread, and if that doesn't pull out the fish I go to my last resort. By this time, the fish is always long gone, and I've never had one still on the line while doing this. I give myself a bit of slack and find a sturdy stick on the bank, then wrap it around my line a couple of times so the line can't just play off the stick. Then, I pull straight backwards until I usually bend my hook. Then I just reel in my line and get to keep my expensive method feeders ($2-$4 a pop ). I've lost so many of those I was forced to come up with some way of not breaking the bank!
