Anyone have rod/reel retrieval tips?

Featured Replies

Well it happened yesterday one of my combo's went into the water.  Does anyone have any tips/trips on helping to possibly retrieve it?  I just hate to think of it just sitting there on the bottom of the lake.

Get a weighted large snagging treble hook and a large sinker and drag the bottom

Keep a trained Dolfin in your livewell  ;D

get one of those metal stringers with the large clasps tie on rod open all clasps and drag around tell you find and retrieve

X2. I saw that in a magazine.

Works better if you use a nylon rope with the stringer so u dont snag up and possibly break your rod or lose the stringer too.

Keep a marker bouy handy. Just drop it in right where the rod went in and you have a great idea where to drag for it.

Kind of like a trunk monkey...cept it's a "Livewell Dolphin"!!!  ;D

use one of those underwater cameras that they use for ice fishing lower it down over where you dropped it and you can watch as you try to snag it i retrieved a cell phone out of a hole in the ice a week after i dropped it in the hole and it still worked LOL
