Cheap Stuff that Gets the Job Done

Not sure if I've posted this before or not. For gear retrieval, I took a large treble hook, clipped the barbs and added a lead weight to the shank. Total cost was about $1 and has retrieved everything from my bow to my pack (which I forgot to connect before the climb).
how do you keep it from catching everything in your pack as you transport it?
I just keep it in a small side pouch. With the barbs clipped off, it doesn't snag on anything.
I know @boyne bowhunter uses one as well. There was a debate about if you were next to a water way, could the DNR charge you with a weighted hook? (Illegal in Michigan)
Zwickey broad heads. $7 each and have probably killed as many big game animals as any single broadhead manufacturer out there.
That's where I got mine, snagged and broken off in a river.
I remember conservation officers hiding in trees during the fall run in TC watching for that.
The glorious moment when NB discovers snagging fish is a thing….
Sells every hunting and fishing accessory he owns except one heavy duty rod with snagging tackle.
Very popular reel and jerk the weighted hook to snag spawning salmon in Michigan. Salmon can only kept if hooked in the mouth area, so I guess one hopes he snags them there. I’ve heard stories about under cover dnr officers busting guys.

There was a well known bass fisherman that got busted for snagging fish and keeping them in a tank at home. He’d then sneak the fish in for tournaments.
Big Bass Legend Mike Long Exposed as a Snagger, Cheater and Thug
Kellen Ellis had just weighed in the heaviest limit of the field on the first day of his second-ever bass fishing tournament, one of the biggest in San Diego County. The then-18-year-old was flying high. His day got even better when the rock star of California big bass fishing walked over to say...
I've done the same thing, less the lead weight. Next step is to epoxy a rare earth magnet to the bottom in the event I need to pick up something magnetic.
I retrieved it (along with a lot of others) from the Boardman just below the dam snorkeling when I was young guy.
I carry mine in a small plastic container along with some flagging tape for marking last blood. Some of the things I've fished back off the forest floor: Hats/gloves, jackets, foam knee pads, releases, cameras, arrows, climbing stick, bow when I forgot to hook it to pull up rope . . . pretty much everything I carry at one point or another.
The only thing I haven't dropped yet is my pull up rope but it'll happen one day. That's why I attached 35 ft of zing-it to the hook. Previously if I dropped the pullup string I wouldn't have any way to retrieve it since I used it for attaching the treble.
