I've been reading through the Bass Resource site to hone my skills for my new found addiction, bass fishing.

Bass Resource

I've been reading about crankbaits recently because my skills are limited to spinnerbaits and plastics at this point. I came across this following statement and I can't figure out what exactly this is referring to.

Can someone please explain the following technique:

"The Bow and Arrow Release - One of the biggest tips that helped improve my deflection success has actually been the retrieval of snagged lures. After a friend of mine drew Rick Clunn, he showed me a modification of a retrieval technique I already knew. This let me get out more snags which equated to more strikes as the bait freed itself and more time fishing. More of a popping rhythm to the bow and arrow technique."

Thanks in advance guys...
