RE: Which retrieval system is best?
I use a good inflatable now with a life jacket too. Swam once or twice 'cause of cheap boats... kinda cool waterwhere I live
For larger boats that I tow in I use small suction cups (for small dents - I bought from a body shop place) and a ice fishing rod .. nice and short easy to handle
Lets me turn around with inflatable.... would work for canoe (I fall in everytime when I'm in canoes ..lol)
