Retrieving a sunken rod&reel

[catchNgrease]

Took a spill today and lost one of my favorite rods. I know within a 10 ft circle of where it is. Any tricks or tools that I can use rather than luck.

Know any divers in your area?

Alot depends on how deep the water is and if there is any junk on bottom. If the bottom is fairly clean, a drag made from rebar would probably work.

How deep is the water?

[Capt Cormorant]

Any metal on the reel or rod.. magnet fishing

Or

Big treble hooks and hope to snag it.

6 to 8 foot deep. Bottom is fairly clean. It's about 15 ft on the high side of a blowdown. Pretty sure bobber and fish are wrapped up in the top. Current is relatively calm.

Done a test on another reel and yeah there's quite a bit of metal

Get you an old metal fish stringer...open up all the hooks....tie on a cord and start throwing and dragging. I've recovered a few over the years doing this.

Treble hook will do the trick

Did you end up in the water or just the reel!?

This will work. It just takes a little patience at times. I've used 2 or 3 treble hooks so it covers different depths.
