I had never seen this before. It's a trick for undoing backlashes. Sheer genius.

Great tip, thanks for the info.
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

That's a great tip. Let's hope it always works that easy the next time I get a backlash!
