Years ago I purchased a 12 ft. Orange Ring Retriever (golf ball retriver) for less than $20. I've used it to retrieve many of my own lures and other's from below and above the water. My fishing buddy and I refer to it as the Getter Stick. It has paid for itself many times over.
I just ordered a new 18 ft. model, a longer model could be very tuff to use, due to flex of the tube.
With the cost of lures you may want to consider a retriever of some type.
Good Luck

That is a great idea Thanks

Very good idea. Thanks

Great idea. I have one in my old golf bag I will be pulling out tonight, and putting in the boat.

Thanks,

i rode with derick remitz last year and he used 1 once weights and he would hook them to the line and it run down the line and bump the baits off of whatever they were hooked on..

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I use that heavy weight with jack chain attached to it that rides down your line and catches your hooks and has it's own line to retrieve it.

Didn't Robby Rose use that technique? Sorry, couldn't resist. Lol

close but remitz has won a whole lot more money..the legal way...

his were one pound weights.....

I use one ounce weights with paperclips attached to them. I do like the golf ball thing though
