What is everyone using to get there cranks and other valuable plugs unhung? Wondering if there's any good "homeade" options out there?

lots of good home-made options. Get yourself a 2-3 ounce weight. Either a bell weight or a triangular weight or even one of the ones that looks like a disc. Put it on a swivel that the end opens. Clasp it to the line and drop it straight down on your crankbait.
You can make a dozen of them for around $10.
I use this http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Jewel...ge-JBHDLR.html works wonders.
Hard to beat the Tim Horton Moneypole. You get what you pay for.
Yep...I keep one of these in my pocket and have a rope/reel one as a back up.Originally Posted by K.D.
I have a 16' extendable pole from BPS that has already more than paid for itself. Also keep a few plug knockers in my pocket.

I've had a hound dog for years.
Bought one of these spiral fishing pole holders for under $3.00 at wally world. Cut the end of the spiral off to open it up a bit, attached it to a two stage telescoping aluminum pole as shown, secured it with a hose clamp. It's got me baits back from under water and up in trees.

I have an old Fritz one, on a retractable dog leash....works great.
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
Fritts lure retriever tied on the end of a anchor rein i mounted on front of the boat for those baits down deep. Being self retractable makes it super easy and quick. Keep a BPS lure retriever pole on the boat at all times for the trees and bushes. Unreal how many baits you can get with the BPS pole.
I'w got a Hound Dawg for the deep ones, go a golf ball retriever for the over head lures.
A pocket rock first. And, if that doesn't work, then this^^^.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
I have tried a few from tacklewarehouse and a few bought here on BBC and to me nothing beats the Frabill 15 Telescoping pole lure retriever.

Tried them all and by far the best I found is this one that I got at the classic and is on landbigfish website for $20. It is called Tipton’s golden retriever. Used to be a guy on here that made a popular one called mag 45 or something like that. He had a fire I believe and was supposed to start making them again but don’t think he did
I have heard of people using old spark plugs as a knocker don't know if they work or not.
