Quick take

An 8 oz weighted magnetic tool that retrieves lures snagged on bottom or in obstacles.

The Hound Dog Lure Retriever is a compact metal tool for getting snagged lures back instead of cutting the line. It is built to free jigs, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, spoons and similar baits from brush and other cover. Anglers who fish heavy timber or weeds will find it handy to keep in the boat. It weighs about 0.34 kilograms.
