>>542639I was the same, lost around $100 of lures before I got one of these. Fishing boat and land, I have counted to cost of lures I have got back with the help of this, so far it has "saved" me around $370 of mine and others lures that we would have otherwise lost. For only $50 it's a solid investment.
Make sure to get one that expands to around 14ft for deep river fishing.
