TackleKraft Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hey Folks, I'm new around here and needed some help finding a plug knocker/lure retriever. I'm curious if any of the members here make the type knocker with chains that is attached to a line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Welcome Shakey. I use one of the Bass Pro deals with the heavy weight and chains, and I feel lost fishing cranks without an extending pole, again like the ones BPS has with the coil on the end that you run down the line, wich works 95% of the time and is quick and painless. I use the weight and chain deal for backup, usually in the case of discarded mono or old nylon twine kor something. I consider these tools as necessary as my favorite crankin stik for fishing cranks.

basskat Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I make them with a one pound or half pound weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I use a 3-4 ounce piece of circular lead with a swivel first. You can keep it in your pocket. These maybe cost .50 each. Send it down the line and 90% of the time it knocks the plug off right away, or shake it and the hooks come loose. If that doesn't work I have a David Fritts type plug knocker that works. The Fritts style doesn't have chains. If that doesn't work, well say goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
