Quick take
Long-handled S-shaped stainless steel dehooker with dual U-curves for removing hooks from large fish safely without hand injury.
This is a 13-inch stainless steel dehooker sized for fish over about 4 pounds. Its S-shaped tip has two U-shaped curves for pushing a hook free, including ones set deep in the mouth. The grooved handle with a thumb rest and lanyard hole keeps a firm grip and your fingers clear of teeth and spines.
Best for
- Catch-and-release fishing for pike, large catfish, or bass
- Removing deep-set hooks from fish with spines or teeth
- Extended reach keeps hands away from thrashing fish jaws
Skip if
- You keep most fish and do minimal hook removal
- You fish only small panfish; this tool is oversized
Strengths
- S-shaped dual U-curves fit both shallow and deeply set hooks
- 13-inch length keeps your hands clear of fish teeth and gill plates
- Thick 0.2 in wire won't bend on large catfish or pike
Trade-offs
- At 13 inches, the tool is bulky and heavy on a belt
- Stainless steel wire is brittle if bent backward
- Specialized tool; not useful for any other tackle function
Fishing fit
- Water
- Saltwater
- Freshwater
