To prevent tangles in the provided line, I took a gatorade bottle and shoved all the line inside the bottle right up to the retriever weight, then screwed the lid on. You can do this cause the provided rope is very thin. Then, when I get hung, I just grab the bottle, open the lid, and play out line. Once done, just put the line back into the bottle. Takes a little time, but its worth it.

Ive fished with people who offer a bait retriever, and they give it to you and its a tangled mess. And as many of you know when its windy a hung lure and dealing with a lure retriever can be a nightmare. No time for tangles. Keep your retriever tangle free and avoid serious headache.
