How do you break off a heavy line snag? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have had luck wrapping the line around my pliers and pulling that way. The line hurts like hell when wrapped around your hand and could (and likely will) cut right through you. I have seen people wrap towels around their hands too.

When you do this, dangle your legs over the side of your yak for balance, 'cause when you're pulling that hard and your line breaks free or snaps you could flip if you are not ready for it.
