Description

A special feature fully shown in the drawings but not fully appreciated by just the drawings is a spring wire lever (1) used to easily attach the retriever to a fishing line so that it may slide down the line to the snagged fishing lure.

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a retreiving device for a snagged fishing lure, showing my design, it being understood the rear elevational view is a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of a second embodiment, it being understood the rear elevational view is a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the second embodiment thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a front elevational view showing the position of the spring wire lever (1) on the device shown in FIG. 1 as it might appear open to allow attachment to a fishing line that is connected to a snagged fishing lure.

FIGS. 2,3, and 5 are the same for both embodiments.

Claims
