An embedded horn line cast net retrieval device has a horn line embedded within a hand line, and a distal end of the horn line is foxed to a central retention aperture, that is defined by the central horn. The hand line extends defines an inner longitudinal passageway through which the horn line is slidably routed. A swivel connector at the distal end of the hand line includes a hollow cylindrical rod and an outer ring coupler having linkage arms connected to braille lines. A horn line stop restricts axial translation to promote bag net formation. Intermediate collars are disposed within the passageway of the hand line, and lateral slots are aligned with the collars to expose the horn line for selective pulling by a user. The device eliminates entanglement of the horn line with the braille lines.
