That depends on whether you are fishing from shore or in a boat. My son gave me one for Christmas and it looks to me like you would have to be in a boat and be directly over the snagged lure for it to work properly. It works by weight and gravity and slides down your line. It is a heavy lead weight and the sheer force of its mass plus its speed is what knocks the lure loose.

i found something on the cabelas website, that there's this product that slides the hook off the crankbait then you just have to replace the treble hook.

Those are called the Ultimate LureSaver.

[b]Ultimate LureSaver™

The Ultimate LureSaver™ Titanium Release System (RS):

Allows you to pull your lures and bait rigs free from even the toughest snags – instantly! The patented Titanium Release Technology won't let go when you're landing that trophy fish! It works like this: cut the split rings that join the hooks to your lure, attach LureSaver with narrow end toward lure as shown and then re-attach your hooks to the lure. When lure snags, point tip of rod directly towards the lure and reel in all slack on the line while keeping your thumb on the spool. Using caution, turn face away while pulling steadily on the line without jerking, until the LureSaver releases your lure. 6 pack.

Use the LureSaver on baitrigs, spinner baits, jigs, and downrigger balls as a release also.

How to use your Ultimate LuresaverTM Titanium Release System:

1) Use the Rigging Guide below to select a LureSaver rated for your line weight.

2) Remove the split rings holding hooks to your lure. (Wire cutters work the best, but remember to wear eye protection!)

3) Attach LureSaver with narrow end toward lure as shown below and then re-attach your hooks to the lure.

To release a snag:

Point your rod tip at snag, reel in all slack and thumb the spool. For safety, turn your face away from snag and pull steadily, without jerking, until LureSaver releases your snagged lure.

Rigging Guide:

To get the most from your LureSaver Release System you should first determine your Rod Line Weight Rating...this is written just above your rod grip. Next, use the suggested Line Test and LureSaver Color that best matches your rod's rating. This combination will give you the best performance from your LureSaver.

Rigging Guide If your rod line weight rating is... Use a Line Test Rating of... With a LureSaver Rating of... 2-10 6 lb. Orange 4-12 8 lb. Light Blue 6-15 10 lb. Green 8-17 12 lb. Silver 10-20 14-15 lb. Red 12-25 17-20 lb. White 20-35 25-30 lb. Yellow

Note: Line test ratings are the recommended minimum line test ratings, and LureSaver is not recommended for anglers who prefer heavy rods spooled with light line.

Sizes referenced in chart below:
Small is best for use with small lures, ultra-light tackle and baitrig applications.
Large is best for use with any type of lure that is 2 inches or more in length.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]This product looks as though it might work for you. Another alternative might be using plastic worms and rigging them "Texas Style". This is a very effective approach to fishing in brush and weeds.Don't hesitate to ask questions. If you never ask, you may never know.[/size][/#800000][/font]

There are hundreds of different kinds of worm hooks. I usually use the ones that have barbs on the shank, and they help to hold the worm on. I also put the entire hook into the worm, eye and all, and this helps also. I use a bullet sinker and let it slide free up and down the line so the Bass won't feel as much resistance when they pick up the worm, although my sister, (an accomplished Bass Fisherwoman) pegs hers with a toothpick to make it stationary.
