ABSTRACT:
A device for retrieving fishing lures that have become snagged on an underwater obstruction such as a rock or tree stump. The retriever includes a weighted body having a unique system of opposing guideways adapted to slideably engage a fishing line attached to the snagged lure, and a unique trap section at its forward end. The guideways are formed entirely by converging walls of the body and are interconnected by cross slots. The trap section includes a plurality of staggered hooks of varying length which extend forward from the body and are intended to engage some portion, especially the eye, of the snagged lure. After the lure is captured by the retriever, both may be recovered by means of a retrieve line attached to the retriever body which has a considerably higher tensile strength than the fishing line.
