Crankbait recovery.

Got hung up over the weekend trolling cranks and when I got it un-hung I pulled up a chunk of wood and on it was was my crankbait and another one I'd lost sometime before. I'm certain it was mine because I'm the only one who crazy enough to troll cranks in these stumps, it was in an area I fish heavily, and had the braid and fastac I use. I've never lost one that I thought I'd ever see again. Here it is, cleaned up of course. New hooks and it's ready again.Attachment 244215

Happy Day DP

Recovering lost gear is like getting a unexpected gift. Good stuff Bobby!

My wife is doing an intervention and is forcing me to attend Crankbait Recovery meetings.

What an awesome suprise!!!!

You might be interested in a snagmaster if you're trolling cranks in a stump field. I've been using one since the 80's. It's paid for itself over and over and over again.

a penny saved is a penny earned...purty good.

I don't hardly waste my time anymore trying to recover them. But, I managed to get my lure knocker hung trying to retrieve a Bandit a few years ago. I finally gave up and was about to cut both lines when I decided to wrap the cord to the lure knocker on a cleet and pull till something gave. It was the limb; with my lure on the other end. DP

I actually do use a a lure retriever but I like the looks of the snagmaster. I had one of mine go overboard once and kept forgetting to get another one so there was a time when all I could do was pull and hope the braid was strong enough. But most of the time it wasn't. Thanks for the tip.

Crazy things happen, me and Shifty pulled cranks one day and I spooled one of my reels and lost the crank, next day he fished the same area and found the crank floatin with 900' of line attached lol
