Questions about Lew's David Fritts Get'r Back Lure Retriever

what's the coating made out of? is it like an enamel or like plastidip? can't tell if it's glossy because of the pic, or the material.

Answer: Rubber coated

Answer: It is a hard thick plastic

Answer: Plastic

Answer: It’s a dip

From the picture there seem to be no gap for the fishing line to pass through the retriever. How does it work? The line has to pass through.

Can this be used for shore/bank fishing?

Answer: It doesn’t work as well the idea is to get behind the snag and it knocks it loose. I’d say bank fishing I’ve had a 35% success rate.

Answer: No. You will probably get it snagged in the same thing you’re trying to get your lure out of It needs to be used more vertically than horizontally

Answer: Of course, it will work just as it does from a boat.

Product reviews of Lew's David Fritts Get'r Back Lure Retriever

Amazon Customer : It works, it always has.

Just found they're making these again.
They work great 99% of the time you'll get your rig back.
#1. Don't the the provided line, it restricts the movement of the hog obviously, especially at low angles of attack.
#2. Use a thrift store $5 reel and 100lb mono line in place of the provided line. I used to use an old fly fishing reel and seat with the pole cut off.
#3. It will pay for itself and the a lot more at low tide/low water even if you're not fishing when you find lines running out to deeper water, snag the rigs on the end.
#4. Occasionally you'll get "free" fish from other peoples snags they broke/cut off, in fact the biggest Salmon I ever "caught" I got that way, LOL.

Mike C : A must have in your tackle box.

I have only used this once, but it worked as advertised. I had no problems retrieving an expensive lure. One or two more times and this product will have more than paid for itself.

Highly recommended !

Luke H. : Paid for itself on the first day

Paid for itself 10 times over the first time I used it. Dropped my bait casting rod in about 15’ of dirty gross water full of sticks and fallen trees. Wouldn’t have been safe to dive down to try and get it. Rigged up a rod with 5 hooks on it and drug it across the bottom pulling up log after log with the lure retriever. Finally after about 2 hours of pulling stuff up from the bottom, I pulled up a big log that had my $200 rod attached to it. So happy I got this. No way I would have been able to get it back without this

Taylor Hewitt : J u n k!!!

Absolute junk! Don't bother, it doesnt work and makes snags worse from the shore.

Kevin R Scott : Works great!

Got hung on under water tree. Used and it worked very well! No hassle what so ever! Great item. Will pay for itself quickly.

randy : Every fisherman should own one

Easy-to-use saves me money

Richie Staggs : You WILL get your lures back!!

If you fish crank baits, lipless cranks, shakey heads anything with exposed treble hooks and your always getting hung. YOU NEED THIS!! I have quite literally saved hundreds If not thousands of dollars with this retriever getting my lures back in the boat. I now throw baits in places I would NEVER have considered before, because I have so much faith in being able to get my lures back in the likely event they get hung.
If your reading this to help decide, spend the money it’s well worth it.

Dan Walker : Works pretty well, I had a retriever for a number ...

Works pretty well, I had a retriever for a number of years that was similiar and worked a little better because the rods that come out of the weight turned up toward the point then down to the sides which supplies a place for the line to ride while lowering the retriever and this also directs the retriever right to the bait. This retriever is the next to the best one I have ever seen, alot better than most.

Todd Felder : Highly recommend, will pay for itself over and over.

This is the third one I have had since its first inception about 25 years ago or so. I lost the first two to not checking knots before sending it down the line, even with that being said they have saved more lures than its cost me to buy three of these. I have used these in both freshwater and saltwater and over 100 feet of water. I would highly recommend purchasing this product.

Tony Fowler : Impressive Tool !

I’ve fished with this retriever 3 times and it’s already saved me 10 large deep diver crank baits and even pulled 2 extra up last week.
Started trolling deep divers bumping the bottom in 10-15 feet of water, then coming up on humps and shelves which is just asking to loose them, but it really surprises them into a reaction strike. My fishing buddy had one of these and saw it work one time and ordered mine. Won’t never be without this tool again. After using it some I’ve learned you really need to be vertical to get the quickest hookup and it’s not automatic. May take multiply drops to get it to snag the lure but you can feel the hook up plain as day.
Really impressive and interesting to play with, specially when you can come home with more crank baits than you left with.

Dave Lamont : Lost in rocks, rescue line is weak

I fish in catchment reservoirs that are loaded with rocks. It's a bank fishing only fishery. Tried to rescue a chatter bait that was hung in rocks on the bottom, about 10 feet from shore in 8 feet of water, it was a no go. First, the retriever got hung up, then the rescue line broke, and it didn't take much force at all. It is also a bit too heavy for shore fishing, it can't ride the line properly, puts too much sag in the line, so the retriever loses momentum on the way down, and you need that to knock it loose. Needless to say, it was an expensive day fishing, an $8 lure, and a $20 retriever. I do not recommend this product at all for shore fishing because of the heavy weight, and the weak line.

Richie Staggs : You WILL get your lures back!!

James Hemperly : Best product!

Used one for 20 years, lost1 lure great tool!!!

Amazon Customer : Another tangled mess of line and string

I watched the how-to video but it just hasn’t worked out for me. I usually just get in a worse mess than I’m already in and rarely get my lure back. It’s been very frustrating for me to use and I am mostly disappointed. I really can’t recommend it to anyone.

Stan : Sturdy

Well Built.

James Hemperly : Best product!
