I've used this one for about 5 years. Its great, I only lose about one out of ten. The tough ones to retrieve are when you get caught on other fishing line. They now have one that reals up the rope. Highly recommend. My buddies are also happy when I save them a crankbait. They are about 12.00 or so.
I bought 3 lure retrievers about 8 years back and lost everyone on first attempt to retrieve each time....LOL. Was fishing below Pickwick dam and trying to retrieve Bandit crank baits. I don't think the rocks below the dam was the place to use those.
I have one like Dakota posted a pic of. it was one that had a little reel with it. what a waste of money and time that reel contraption was. we now have it on a spot marker float. a lot more useable and gets most of the crankbaits back. I would think boat use is a must lol.
Go to your local tackle store buy a dozen or so 3 oz. lead weights ... attach a quick snap ... then attach to your line in distress ... Let it slide and bounce on the bait ... don't give up on it ..keep it vertical ... 95% retrieval rating ... at a rock bottom expense ... <'TK><

Hook 1 has these exact ones in 3-packs or singles. Not too sure on price, but I believe they're 3-4 bucks for the 3-pack.
I have the pole type and that's another joke especially in the wind and if you get one glue the end on before you use it because the end will come off on the first try...................woody

oh that would REALLY tick me off, get a $5-$6 crankbait stuck, bust out the lure retriever only to have that break on you as well...i know myself, and i would throw that pole like a javelin in a fit of rage across the lake! LOL
I use the one like Dakota posted. I took a piece of 1/2 PVC and cut it to about 5" long to make a handle that I wrap the line around. This keeps the line from becoming a tangled mess. It's saved me hundreds in cranks.
Ack! I just recently ordered and got in one of those long telescoping ones from BP, goes from 6 - 18'. Hope it at least lasts a while! I got tired of getting hung up on all the rocks in the Cumberland...
