Golden Retrievers work quite well, but they have their limits... if the water is full of growth, twigs and branches and stuff to get snagged on, it can make retrieval tough or impossible. They will sink into soft bottoms enough to get under the disc so it can be recovered.do those things actually work? i just can't see how they would snag something if it were edge-down. do they penetrate down through the muck?
I'll say this without exaggeration: since I got mine, I've been able to get every wet disc that I could see. 15ft (that's the length of my line) farther from shore than you might think. You can use a longer line, but the farther away the disc is, the harder it is to throw the device behind it and line up to catch the disc as you pull it in.
Takes some getting used to, but the bottom line is, it works pretty freakin' well and doesn't take up much room/weight in your bag, so it's always available when you need it.
