kickingfrog Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have most of the usual removal tools but saw these and figured I'd seek some first hand feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 can someone even explain how the hell this works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would think you put it in the mouth then pull the bottom handle up or push the top one down to close a loop around the hook then you do the pushing to get it loosened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would think you put it in the mouth then pull the bottom handle up or push the top one down to close a loop around the hook then you do the pushing to get it loosened Winner You get the hook around the hook, squeeze and remove the hook. I have seen these, but not sure how well they work Rob. What was the price? Might be worth a try. If they dont work, return it. In my opinion, long handle needle nose pliers work 99.9% of the time.

spincast Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I had one for a while - It seem to have gone awol on one of my weekend away trips . Works well once you get the hook in the groove, especially on deep hooked fish. I found it pulled the hookout cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I see them as a deep hook out tool, but as such, I'd like them to be a little longer. The ones pictured are what I saw at Cabela's. Not sure if there are different lengths or brands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I see them used often on the shows that are filmed in the FLA area but not many other shows when I watch a fishing show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabluz Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I use long forceps that lock but most of the time, I could do a great job with just a long thin wooden stick with a small notch in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
