Lost my 1st.....
Custom painted crankbait that is......That D22 crankbait that I repainted a baby bass design got hung in the riprap my first day of fishing with it, and I had no way to retrieve it other then yankin on my line.....and obviously that didn't work since its still at the bottom of the lake...lol....So today I decided to fabricate my own little lure retriever so I'd have a better chance of saving a hung up lure next time...lol. I've seen you guys build a few of your own so I thought I'd do the same using a 2oz weight a couple of screw eyes and some nylon rope.....fortunately the rope came on a nifty little holder thats gonna work great for my purpose.
Strangely, while I was in the hardware section of Walmart I heard someone calling my name.....I followed the voice till I ended up on the fishing isle but I didn't find anyone there.....but I did find a couple of new cranks to replace the ones I lost last time out, so I'm thinkin the Baitmonkey had something to do with this purchase.  That and I keep hearing you guys talk about how good these KVD cranksbaits are...lol

Me and you both buddy.....I've lost too many lures the last few trips out....My partner has too, so hopefully this'll save both of us a few bucks.

If you have never tried one of the telescopic lure retrievers with the metal spiral on the end you should! I fish a lot of nasty stuff with cranks and I bet I haven't lost half a dozen to snags in the last several years since I got that lure retriever. Plus you can reach up into trees if you cast into a tree. Now I have lost some to big fish in that stuff but lure retrievers can't do much for you there!

Me and lowrider have a joke running about the telescopic retreiver we bought. Not only has it paid for itself by bringing in countless hung lures, and a rod that lowrider dropped off the side of the boat, but it has actually made us some money, snagging cranks, and spinnerbaits off of stumps. Our local lunker lake is very clear and we have retrieved more than 5 or 6 baits that were lost by someone other than us. |
