Abstract
A fishing lure retriever having a teardrop-shaped weight of lead or similarly dense material. Clipping means are attached to the weight. The weight and clipping means are coated in a thin layer of vinyl or similar resilient material. Where a fishing lure has become entangled underwater, the retriever is attached to the fishing line and permitted to descend by gravity along the line to the point of entanglement. Motion of the fishing line with the retriever in place near the entangled lure results in controlled movement of the weight near the entangled lure effecting disengagement of the lure.
