It is plug knocker / lure retriever. You slip it over the fishing line when you are snagged, hung up up the bottom and it usually works and frees the lure. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

Lure retriever. Tie a line to the loop end & use it as sig77 said. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Yes, a lure retriever. There are many variants. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I could have used one a time or two. | |||

Yep plug knocker. Pretty cool and invaluable when fishing cover with a crankbait. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I have read about them but I don't think I ever saw one in the wild. I think this is only the second time in all the years I have been lurking on Sigforum, that I could answer what the object in question is? | |||

Chip away the stone |
"plug knocker" sounds like a slur of some sort  | |||

Don't Panic |
Wish I'd known about this when I was doing a lot more fishing!  Here's a link to a YouTube video explaining how these (and others) are used: | |||
