3 suggestions That I have used with success with my crank baits. I am not sure how this would work with Jigs, spinner baits or large plugs but they work for my bass cranks.
1) A pocket rock/Plug knocker - Use a large weight that has a line tie molded in. Attach a removable swivel to this which will allow you to attach to your line. Send it down and it will usually pull the bait loose. Sometimes you have to shake it. I have good success with this and keep one in my pocket.
2) Get a Chalk line tool at the hardware store. Replace the string with the strongest braided line you can find. Attach a heavy weight with several strands of chain to the line. This is very compact and keeps your line free of tangles.
3) Take an old broken rod that you have laying around. Cut it to about 2 ft. and put a new tip guide on. Get a push button reel and spool it with heavy braid. Attach your weight and chain to the braid. This also keeps the line tangle free and is hard to loose because you keep it with your other rods.
