Fishing in my pool case

[AndyDandy75]

How do you all get items out of your pool case?

We dropped one of my joint protectors down in our J&J pool case and either my partner or I put our cues in, it’s stuffed down in the bottom now
We know it’s down there as the lid is hard to close

Any advice is greatly appreciated

You can pull the interior of JB cases out. They are just pressed in. Once out, you can squeeze the JP out like toothpaste.

Oops, I was mistaken. We got us a J&J case from California

1. If you got lucky , the thread hole will be up, just stick the butt down in the case and screw it into the joint protector a few threads, and pull it out.
2. If you aren't that lucky, try some gorrilla tape on the end of a dowel or the end of a junk cue.
You may have to attach a small screw to a dowel {or other long pokey thing} and screw it into the JP to get it out if you have wedged it in there tightly

If there is any metal in the jp a magnet may do the trick .

Maybe this would work for you, these are great for getting into hard to reach places. Google pickup tool for multiple choices.

Did you say "fishing"?

Fill your case with water. If it's wood, it should float to the top.
If it's aluminum, at least it won't rust.

Good luck!

I think I would just get a new case. I’d probably have to because I would completely destroy that one trying to get the damn joint protector out.

Tape a large easy-out to the end of a shaft. All you need to do is engage the threads of the JP enough to grab hold and pull it out.

Gorillar Tape may also do the trick, similar concept.

four bucks..Harbor freight. If the magnetic part is too large for the case tube, you can just move it up the shaft..

Won't work if it's a plastic joint protector. But not a bad idea if it's got a metal pin

Straighten a wire coat hangar and make a 90 degree bend in the end about as wide as the joint protector then go fishing. Slide wire all the way to the bottom, turn a bit to get under joint protector and coax it out slowly. Might help to have case on upside down angle during attempt. I just retrieved a glove this way.
