I've never used one but with my son now fishing with me more looking to invest in one try and save a few lures. Anyone have a recommendation on which one to buy?

I've used two, the Diawa with chains and the bass pro fish one with chains. The bass pro lure retriever is much better than the diawa. If I have to buy another it will be the bass pro one.

The Tournament Choice one from Academy works great. It's only $4.99 and has saved me hundreds of $$. I tie it to a buoy mark and keep it hand, it's worked everytime I've needed it.

Check out the post I just entered titled lure retriever by Clark Rheem. It's a video. I made two and they work better than anything you can buy.

Cheap academy version, add welded loop small chain from Lowes. For shallower water I like the telescopic pole version

Make your own... many how to videos. 3-4 oz. sinker, 1 zip tie, and one swivel containing the lure clip.

Anything 10-15' you can't beat the telescoping retriever. It's like having another rod onboard but it will pay for its self in the first trip.

I received a Timmy Horton money pole as a gift and it has performed well. You are limited to 18ft though. Anything deeper and you should just make your own. I also use it as a push pole when I am up shallower so I don't have to use the trolling motor. I my mind I am being sneaky but the fish are probably just laughing at me.

I'm a bank guy, and I've tried the weighted slider types with little success. If you're on the bank, I think the telescoping retriever is your better bet. BPS has a couple of options. One is something like 13' and one is 18', I believe. They'll cost somewhere around $30-$50, but they're worth the money.
