Abstract: The fishing lure retrieving device has a weight which has a slit extending lengthwise to about the central axis of the weight. A fishing line may be located in the slit so the line extends centrally through the weight. coils are attached centrally at each end of the weight for receiving and maintaining the line about the central axis of the weight. Chains are coupled to a sleeve of the weight which extends about an end of the weight. The weight is allowed to slide down the fishing line to forcibly impact the lure to jar the lure loose from an obstruction. The chains may ensnare the hook of the lure to allow the lure to be freed. A retrieving cord is attached to the weight so the weight and lure may be retrieved.
