## Abstract

A fishing lure retrieval apparatus including a telescopic cylindrical pole and a looped strap attached to the cylindrical pole. A cylindrical hook attachment member is attached to and extended outwards from a front end of a front portion of the cylindrical pole. An S-shaped hook member is attached to a front surface of the cylindrical hook attachment member. The S-shaped hook member is perpendicularly disposed to and extended upwards above the cylindrical hook attachment member. The S-shaped hook member is selectively engageable around a fishing lure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A fishing lure retrieval apparatus comprising:
a cylindrical pole having a rear handle portion, a hollow rear portion statically attached to the rear handle portion, and a front portion telescopically attached and selectively slidably disposed within the hollow rear portion, each of the hollow rear portion and the front portion having a front end and a back end;
wherein an entirety of an interior cavity of the front portion of the cylindrical pole is foam;
a looped strap attached to the hollow rear portion of the cylindrical pole adjacent to the rear handle portion;
a locking mechanism comprising a pair of holes disposed within the hollow rear portion of the cylindrical pole and a pushable pin disposed on the front portion of the cylindrical pole proximal the back end, wherein each of a proximal hole and a distal hole of the pair of holes is disposed within the hollow rear portion proximal the front end and the back end, respectively, wherein the pushable pin selectively engages each of the proximal hole and the distal hole of the pair of holes in order to selectively lock the front portion in an extended position and an alternate retracted position;
a cylindrical hook attachment member attached to and extended outwards from the front end of the front portion of the cylindrical pole; and
an S-shaped hook member attached to a front surface of the cylindrical hook attachment member, wherein the S-shaped hook member is perpendicularly disposed to and extended upwards above the cylindrical hook attachment member;
wherein the S-shaped hook member is selectively engageable around a fishing lure.
