Quick take

A 10-inch galvanized mouth spreader that locks large sharp-toothed fish open for safe hook removal.

The Baker MS10 is a 10-inch spring-steel mouth spreader for holding a fish's jaws open while you work a hook free. Squeeze it, slip it between the jaws and let go, and spring tension keeps the mouth open so your hands stay clear of the teeth. It suits anglers who tangle with pike, musky, walleye or bluefish, and it takes little room in a tackle box.

Best for

  • Pike and musky with large mouths
  • Walleye and big catfish
  • Removing hooks from toothy species

Skip if

  • You fish mostly panfish; this is sized for large fish
  • You want a compact tackle-box tool; this spreader is bulky

Strengths

  • Hand-drawn galvanized steel is durable and corrosion-resistant
  • Spring lock holds the mouth open hands-free
  • 10-inch size reaches into deep mouths of large fish

Trade-offs

  • Bulk makes it hard to carry in a tackle box
  • Galvanized finish will rust if not dried after saltwater use
  • Designed for fish with large mouths; less useful for small fish
