Yeah, Hannah's right about it not working in a real blow. My buddy tried that exact trick last spring when we were out at the lake. The wind picked up so much it just whipped the line around his fingers, he said it felt like getting snapped with a rubber band. He had to pack it in early because his hand was all red and sore. It seems like those little tricks are only good for a light breeze, not actual weather.

Wait, you saw someone doing this in Phoenix? In the summer? That's the part that gets me, it was probably 115 degrees out there. How was anyone even holding a line steady in that heat, let alone the wind?

That trick never works when the wind really gets going.
