Wireline Fishing Tools Prong Wireline Grab For Wireline Service

The Prong Wireline Grab is a wireline service tool normally used to retrieve wire that has broken in the tubing. When a line breaks below the stuffing box, a full gauge such as a slotted skirt Wirefinder is normally used to both locate and ball up the broken end of the line before running the wireline grab.

Either two or three long slots are machined to the bottom of the housing to form the prongs. There are barbs attached to the inside of the prongs pointing upward. The bottom end of the prongs are tapered to guide the wire to the inside of the grab and to conform to the I.D. of the tubing.
