When I snag a hook, I always pull the line until it breaks versus cutting it. It almost always breaks at the hook, you can usually see the remains of the knot at the end of the line. After this you have to cut off the over streched section of line and trash it, but at least it's not in the water. Of course you have to be careful, you can break the rod or the hook can unsnag and fly at you.
