Sounds a lot like the tangle I had. Took me a half hour back at camp to get mine out. Had a dipsy two worm harnesses and 2 leaders to cut out. Was quite a mess. I didn't have an extra dipsy to use that day but I did learn to make extra leaders to have on hand. I'll maybe have 1 more walleye trip to try what I've learned here before I start perch fishing. I will have to put to use the perch techniques that I learned from last year from everyone. This is a great forum.
