It's nearly happened to me twice - once I fishing floating bread for carp and needed a pee,
Leaving the rod on the bank I was peeing in the bush when I saw the rod being dragged across the grass, I managed to stand on the handle until I was zipped up and landed the fish
The other time I'd set my rod up before I'd set up my landing net and as I was putting the net on to the landing handle the rod wrapped round and was pulled out of the rest - again I managed to grab the handle and land the fish
Anyone lost a rod this way
