Quick take
Heavy-duty pistol-grip pliers with grooved jaws designed for safely removing deeply swallowed hooks.
This pistol-grip disgorger from Daiwa is built for backing out hooks and lures a fish has swallowed deeply. Its angled head and grooved jaws let you grip even thin hooks, and the Teflon coating helps guard against corrosion. Glow-in-the-dark handle ends make it easy to find after dark, which suits anglers who release their catch at night.
