The best lure retriever

[TivisMinton]

I use basic plug knockers, a lure hound, and an 18ft ext pole. Lost too many swimbaits to learn this lesson

jdb21867 Contact David Baker on here. Hands down the best retriever I have used.

Concur with the above. Dave is great to deal with and makes a fine product. I also have a set up similar to bilgerat that I made from a golf ball retriever for shallow(er) runners.

That is me. I have the shop rebuilt now and am just waiting on new equipment.
I have a list a mile long of people wanting them. I am going to order material this week and will borrow a buddys shop to get several orders out until I get the equipment in my shop.
I had planned to have already been up and running in the new shop but life kinda got in the way.

Keep us updated on when you will be up and running. I'm interested in getting one.

Hound dog for me also, but I also carry a pole. When you fish with some of the people I do, you need to reach up in the trees as much as down in the water.
If I was getting a new one, I would look for one that has the hook for a-rigs, and a loop big enough to go around the new larger baits and spoons.

Bought one, the only one they had, at a local shop and it works well but I'm sure that's because it has Bill Dances signature on it. Seriously though, it works fine for my needs.

Goofy looking fish thing with chains on it?

Will do. I should be shipping by the end of the month.

I've had good luck with the spark plugs that you mentioned. I keep the old ones and if it doesn't work your out of a swivel.

[kneelnreel]

made knockers out of weights and swivels but if its bad and two dont get it back i bust out with the big gun 44 iv got a short piece of rope tied to where the chain should be

[Obsessed]

This has saved us a ton of lures.

We bought the longest one. On our second one, we lost the 'cork screw' end on the first one.

My buddy, D--kHead makes em by pourin a 1oz egg sinker and overfillin the mold and then inserting a swivel in the top. Works like a dream. We refer to it as the D--kHead Knocker.

pocket knocker works great

Thats the one we use. The fish even has his Tennessee hat on. It works like a charm 95% of the time. It pays for itself every time we go out.

Yes, the old Bill Dance one with the Tennessee hat! That was the best one I've ever used. Wish they still made them. I lost mine. I use the Hound Dog by Jewel now.

[wheelerdealer]

I like the David Fritt's lure retriever. I've gotten more crankbaits back with it than any other. You could not find it for while, but he talked Lew's into making it again and I recently purchased one from Land Big Fish. You can also get them on the Lew's site.

I broke the two I had previously by accidently stepping on them when I left them out on the front deck or lying in the bottom of the boat. The coil that you feed your line through is made of brass that is screwed into or embedded in the main weight, which is lead. Brass is relatively soft and when I stepped on the retriever, the brass line holder/guide broke off where it entered the lead weight, so be sure you put it away in a compartment each time you are finished using it and you'll be fine.

While I was looking around for another Fritt's model, I bought a Daiwa lure retriever from TW. It has a strong nylon cord on a hand reel with a lead weight with about 5 or 6 chains hanging off the weight. It worked pretty well but I had a lure stuck so bad that the nylon retrieval cord snap before the lure pulled loose and I lost the business end of the retriever. I bought another one and still have it and the new Fritt's model to start 2018 fishing season.

I use the old Fritts type retriever. These were like the old Mojo retriever that was popular on High Rock lake . The problem with the mojo was it was very fragile. There was a local guy who built a copy of the Mojo retriever that was very strong like a tank. I have had it 35+ years and it is still saving lures.
