I was trolling in about 200 feet of water and was bringing my downriggers when the cannonball snagged on something when I had 30 feet to go. I tried everything to bring it up including putting on gloves and trying to yard it up by hand. I gave it some more line and tried reversing direction, no luck. Finally with about 55 feet out the line broke. I know I have 300 ft of wire on the spool. I never use that much should I just stick a new end on? Has the stress of breaking ruined the rest of the wire? Will only having 245 feet on one downrigger be a problem?
