Quick take
A 10-inch stainless steel hook remover for safe fish de-hooking without handling.
This 10-inch stainless steel de-hooker from Uncle Mo's has a molded handle and a spear-point tip. It lets you back a hook out of medium and large fish like bass, snapper, fluke and grouper without putting your fingers near the mouth. It works in fresh or salt water and weighs under a hundred grams, so it rides easily in a tackle bag.
