    The "fishing tool" U gotta have

    Despite bassin since 1980 I was introduced to the lure retrieving telescopic pole sold by BPS only this year ... anyone fishing 15 feet of water or less 90% of the time is missing all the savings this $30 tool provides ..
    I have only lost 2 of about 20 serious hangups since buying it ... multiply 18 times a $4 bait or a $2.50 jig ... and this is only month 4 with it!

    Would have saved me from at least $500 for the past few years of crankbait losses just out of reach... ....

    Don't spend that 30 bucks! Wally world has a golf ball retriever for 12.88 that you can cut the end off, wrap a piece of brass brazing rod around pipe to make the spiral, then epoxy it into the hollow end of the pole, looks just like the BPS model for under 15.00!!!!!

    BPS is extendible/retractible with a simple twist of the wrist
    ...and slides together for easy fitting into boat rod/long lockers...

    So is the golf ball retriever pole @ wally world! twist to lock or unlock, extends out in 5 sections. collapses to 4', looks like the same pole as my buddy's BPS pole. I'm not bashing the BPS pole ya got, just pointing out a cheaper way to get the same set-up.
