Quick take
Japanese-made stainless steel lure retriever that twists down to free snagged lures.
This Belmont lure retriever head screws onto a pole or rod tip and uses a spiral tip you twist to snag a stuck lure and pull it free. The body is gold-plated 18-8 spring stainless steel and runs 4.9 inches (125 mm) long. It is a small tool for anglers who fish around snags and want a way to recover lures instead of cutting line.
