Anyone have rod/reel retrieval tips?

[bassin_man]

Well it happened yesterday one of my combo's went into the water.  Does anyone have any tips/trips on helping to possibly retrieve it?  I just hate to think of it just sitting there on the bottom of the lake.

Get a weighted large snagging treble hook and a large sinker and drag the bottom

Works better if you use a nylon rope with the stringer so u dont snag up and possibly break your rod or lose the stringer too.

Too murky on bottom in that area

Don't look for it. This is the perfect excuse to buy a new rig!!!

Keep a marker bouy handy. Just drop it in right where the rod went in and you have a great idea where to drag for it.

how deep is the lake where you droped it??

[xft116]

use one of those underwater cameras that they use for ice fishing lower it down over where you dropped it and you can watch as you try to snag it i retrieved a cell phone out of a hole in the ice a week after i dropped it in the hole and it still worked LOL
