Lure retrievers?

Post by robbo101 » Mon Feb 09, 2015 8:02 pm

Just wondering if anyone uses lure retrievers and what are some favourite methods?
I have been known to jump in after them if its not too cold and I don't want to loose it!
As a kid I used to swim the snags in the murray and find lots of snagged lures!

Cheers!

A extendable pole and a heavy weight on green cord

Both work good

Don't personally own one but this article does a pretty good job of covering the pros and cons of each type.

Also offers a cheap and effective alternative.

I carry a 250gm Tackleback-style retriever in my fishing backpack, and it's saved me $$$ and been able to help other fishos out with it too.

I have both the 250g and 125g asari. Both work but I find the lighter one much better for landbased use from the bank. If it's too heavy and/or the lure is far from the bank then the retriever often hits bottom before it can get out to the lure. Still, I get 95% back and it's saved me a ton of cash - I wouldn't go fishing without one now.
