Ok so when you're fishing in a boat and you hang your expensive swimbait, the snagmaster from cabelas is the way to go. But when you're throwing expensive swimbaits from shore it's not the best option available. The angle of the line won't allow traditional lure retrievers to work. I ran across these on tacklewarehouse:

I know they work great for lighter baits and lines, but will they hold up under the pressure of fighting big bass? They have sizes rated for 20lb and 30lb line. Do you think the 30lb rating would be sufficient? They supposedly won't straighten unless you put direct pressure with the rod pointed right at the bait. I figured it could possibly save me a dip into the cold spring waters of our local lakes haha. Any and all opinions are welcome!

I have enough problems not straightening regular components on swimbait fish, that's just asking for it :(

Trust me...... they're not for big swimbaits when you fish heavy drag. I used them once about 6 years ago before they hit the market. Set up on one about 12 pounds right at the boat and pop! There went the treble and the fish.

Still had my bait though. pff

Thats all I needed to hear! Thanks
