Sparky's idea is a tried and true old-time system that really works well. The metal stringer with all clips open is the quickest way to retrieve almost anything.

if it makes you feel any better I dropped a pair of $15 cutters in the water yesterday so I could retrieve a snagged $2 lure.

Makes perfect sense to me Seung! I hope you were successful.

Some other ideas. 1.) Take several options with you to attempt your retreival, don't bet on one thing. 2.) Try poly rope instead of the rod and line with the weighted treble hooks. 3.) Large magnets on a rope, guaranteed that reel has a steel handle but test against a similar.... magnets have the advantage of not having to make that perfect hookup, just get close. 4.) It may be worth it to get someone with scuba gear to retrieve it.

Finally I want to know the trailer color on that football.....;o)
