A retriever for recovering a snagged or fouled fishing lure consisting of a weighted body adapted to be slidably received upon the snagged line and a pair of cooperating jaw members. The proximal ends of the jaw members are supported upon the body by means of spring loaded hinges which bias the jaws into a normally closed position. The distal ends of the jaws are provided with teeth arranged to snare a lure therein. A trigger mechanism is also provided for holding the jaws open against the biasing pressure of the hinges and, when actuated, allows the jaws to move into the closed position. In operation, the retriever is slidably mounted upon the snagged line with the jaws in an open position and the retriever run down the line to the lure whereupon the trigger is actuated to capture the lure between the jaws. The retriever, with the lure entrapped therein, is brought to the surface using a high strength line attached to the retriever.
