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

Pappy : Works as advertised

I have used this retriever about six times since I purchased it, and it has retrieved my lure every time. This one is as good as advertised. It's will always be with me while out fishing in my kayak.

BassBoss : Nice

Nice and heavy. Works too.

BassBoss : Nice

Nice and heavy. Works too.

Amazon Customer : Don’t work

Terrible …. lost it first try . maybe good for tree stumps . forget trying to use on rocks or oyster beds ..

cheryl gerber : Too heavy to work for me

I tried this item to retrieve a lure that was hung in the water just out of my reach by a few feet. The retriever was so heavy it was impossible to hold the line tight enough for it to work. I was using a 4 lb test for trout fishing. If I had pull the fishing line any tighter, I think my line would have broken.

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.

E : I wouldn't recommend to others to buy.

Not very easy to use. Tried multiple times on different lures and no luck with this item to free the lures.

C.R. : Terrible

Terrible. Lost it the first time using it. The string that comes with it broke. Didn't even have a chance to get my lure back. Lost my lure and retriever in the water. DO NOT PURCHASE.

Bassfish43 : It’s worth the money

A few bucks now, will save you later.

Nick : Too many variables need to fall inline to make this work.

This retriever is designed only to work if the stuck lure is deep enough for you to position yourself directly above it. If there is any slack in the line or if you are using lighter line, the retriever is simply to heavy to function properly. I threw it away after the third time of it snapping my line.

Alan : String management is a problem, but it works

I got on the lake early at 6am, and by 9am I still hadn't caught a fish. Several boats around me were catching some on shad like crankbaits, so I tied on a 8XD, which dives 16' deep. I got desperate and casted toward a tree sticking out of the water, hoping to go just over the highest branches. Well, the crankbait went 6" too deep, and both trebles got stuck in the branch. I previously wrapped the string of the Lure Retriever around a section of pvc pipe, so it wouldn't just be a mess in my tackle box, but the string really twists up. I pulled out the retriever, attached it to the line coming from my pole and down to the snag. I tightened up the fishing line and let the the retriever go down. It didn't go so smoothly, so I had to really wiggle the rod around to get it to slide down. After a few bangs, up came the crankbait floating to the top. Saved me a $15 lure on the first trip! Would be 5 stars if the string was better quality and had some means of managing it.

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.

Bassfish43 : It’s worth the money

A few bucks now, will save you later.

Amazon Customer : Another tangled mess of line and string

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Great tool. Doesn't damage baits.

Amazon Customer : Worth it!

Has already saved me a ton of money by retrieving my Alabama rigs.
