Also haven't had issues removing them our way, even after the client has mashed it pretty good, such as the one in the picture. I'm not claiming to be right here either, just know what has worked for me. Also, the article is about a bore snake, an Otis is a whole different monster, the pic attached below is an OTIS as the OP has stuck. By the way, I've never had to remove a cleaning rod before, but eventually everything happens once.
Holy smokes....how could that even happen?? no, I don't have it that stuck. It's 100% just a patch that jammed in the throat. Should be easy for someone with the right tools, either brass or hydraulic.

Also, it's pretty much the only way to clean an 88, unfortunately. Works fine when the idiot I mean operator does his part
