Abstract
A fishing lure retriever is provided that utilizes a ring member to selectively encircle the fishing line of a snagged lure and is caused to track along the line until the ring member contacts the fishing lure, whereupon further advancement of the retriever towards the fishing lure causes the ring member to rotate and urge the lure out of its snagged condition.
Claims11
A device for remotely retrieving a snagged fishing lure attached to a fishing line comprising:
- an elongated pole;
- a body adapted to be attached to an end of the elongated pole;
- a ring member having an outer periphery and being resiliently mounted to the body for pivotal movement with respect thereto, the ring member having an opening in the outer periphery adapted to be selectively accessed to selectively encircle an extended fishing line;
- whereby the ring member may be caused to encircle a fishing line attached to the snagged lure and the device caused to track along the line until the periphery of the ring member contacts the fishing lure, whereupon further advancement of the device towards the lure causes the ring member to resiliently pivot relative to the body and urge the lure out of its snagged condition.
