I went yesterday, did not lose any jigs/grubs/tackle, so it was a free trip based on your post, but it did cost me $$ in the past to buy the grubs, jigs, line, fuel, etc., so it was not a free trip imo. All I used was jigs with plastic grubs, did pull cranks for short time and did not lose any. 1st time I pulled cranks as an experiment I lost an old but new/never used CB that cost me $4.50 some time ago. Darn striper or whatever it was just snapped my line when he jumped.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
