Trolling a mack

[cell128]

Were gonna be trolling macks too. This might sound dumb but I'm fairly new to this. If a dog should get to it does it spit the hook or should I cut the line right away in an attempt not to get flipped?

Not dumb at all. If a dog grabs your bait chances are he will strip it off your hook clean or bite it in half. They are pros at stealing bait. Rarely a juvenile will get hooked and you can usually horse them in and deal with them or call it a loss and cut it. Your drag should not be fully buttoned down to the point you get flipped. Just pretend it's a 50# yellow and have some fun
