Anti-Carp Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 G'day, Using hardbody lures is sending me broke with snagging a couple every trip . Does any one have any good ideas of de-snagging lures? Has any one tried the tackleback's before? Thanks in advance for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzep Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Good idea I have not seen them before. I am sure I will be told to buy one by the to try and save some $$ on lost lures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Carp Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 You will save yourself thousands of buxs with one of those little beauties OutdoorDan and myself saved 10 Jackals in one day at Glenbawn and paid for the Tackleback 10 times over and I still have the Tackleback This what they look like Cheers Stewy Thanks Stewy , looks like i'm going to invest in one =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastin Time Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i have found a Rzep is good for getting snagged lures out of trees.... But be careful using one as they sometimes loose control & can easily end up in the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzep Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah I did manage to catch quite a few branches last time we went for a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Have a look at one called a Sna-Hu (or something like that. They work the same way as a tackle back but they have a couple of lengths of chain hanging off the main body. The idea is if the weight of it doesn't knock it off the snag you can jiggle it up and down and get teh chain caught on one of the trebbles. You might bend a trebble or 2 but at least you get your lure back. I have used mine a couple of times to get lures back where the Tackleback has failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdonjuan9 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi Anti-Carp, The original tackle backs are probably the best one to go for. There are immiations from surecatch/wilson and other but are not so goo re: quality (in my humble opinion). The tackle back comes in a small and large size. small- for the shoreline/bank fishing large- for boat fishing. I used to own a small one- didn't use it much, i reckon the large one is best cause it can knock the lure and trebles free even iff they are embeded in a branch. so go for the bigger model. i've also seen the ones with the chain, usefull at times when the chain is the only thing accessibel to the trebles to free them at certain angles- not too bad. there is also a new one advertised- not sure what its called but it a a coil at the end of a stick this encases the snagged lure and allows you to pull it directly with more control. I tend to gointo lots of detail, get carried away sometimes when talking about tackle..... anyway, hope that helps Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Carp Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Just wanted to say thank you for all your responses. I bought the tackle back and on my trip today to Parra weir got snagged twice but recovered both lures. However no bream but hey it's great just to be out there.

Hooky. Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I watched a "BassMaster University" segment where they showed the tacklebacks and rather than using a handline to wind on the cord they used one of those retractable dog leads. Saves winding the cord back onto a hand line. Only downfall I could see was the limited length of retractable cord but I'm sure there would be similar items on the market that could be used. cheers Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
