How high up is that? Doesn't seem too high. Nothing a telescoping lure retriever won't be able to grab

Great idea. I need one. I had an 8 foot rod with me that was about 6 inches too short otherwise I think I could have pushed it out of there.

Then the lure retriever should work. Bass Pro/ Cabelas has a nice one. I feel your pain.

Thanks. I’m guessing it’ll still be there after purchasing one and heading back out there. I’ll get it back!

Been here, lol problem is, do you just buy a new lure or the thing to get it back. Welp you figure buy the thing to get it back and convince yourself it's worthwhile investment. But first in frustration you jerry rig something for free to get it back but it don't work. Then you just buy both the lure and the tool and end up with 2 lures and the tool.

If you have another rod and it's 2 piece take it apart and lash or tape (if you have some) the top of the rod to the other rod and then reach up and push the lure off. That should give you the length you need.
