My father's Birthday is next week and I need to locate a telescopic lure retriever. I've looked all over the internet and can only locate manufactures out of country? I purchased one years ago but they seem to have dissapeared around here anyway? I appreciate anyone that could lead the way. Thanks alot!!~~ :

I searched a little bit and only came up with this one-

BPS has them.

bps, i bought mine a couple years ago,paid for itself many times over

You can find the tip half of one in Clarks Hill and the other half in the floor of my boat.

I have a couple I've gotten from BPS. I really like the one I have in one boat that has the flat plastic tip and the sections twist lock inside each other. I was buying another for my other boat and they didn't have that one so I bought a different one. It just has a plastic nut/coupling on the end of each section that wedges down to lock the sections and had a spiral spring on the end. The first time I tried to retrieve a lure, the $30 piece junk pulled the plastic lock off the end of the middle section. Lost half the retriever and a dang good plug. So, needless to say, if it's dark brown, has those plastic nuts on each section and the spiral on the end, don't waste your money.

don't waste your money on this one, not worth the time to take it home
