Thread: Help retrieving rod

Metal fish stringer. Open up all the "snaps", Tie it on the line, throw it out and drag it thru the area .

Dang, hate to hear that. Good luck and hopefully you can recover it.

I second what CrappieCobra33 said.... and I have even added weight to front of the stringer to make sure it stays down while being pulled.

I’d try a large weighted treble hook on a piece of staging line, probably a good idea to round over the hook points.

Know any divers? Wife lost her glasses off a dock in 22fow and relative that free dives found them on the 5th try.

This & how about a magnet tied to a rope.

I would suggest snagging treble, but dont want you to get into trouble if the DNR shows up and you are dragging around a snagging hook.

Ive used a “sonar” lure before with success. A blade bait, metal minnow. 1/2 or 3/4 size and drag around along bottom.

Bud I use to catch the nuisance alligators in our county before the federal ban was lifted so I have a mold that makes weighted treble hooks, big ones. We used them to snag alligators, little ones to relocate. Anyway I think there is several of those snag hook in my shop. PM me your address and I will happily mail you one.
