The large Dehooker is
designed with two dehooking surfaces,
the furthest “U” from the handle is used to shake a fish
off the hook, like our other models.
The closest “U” to the handle is designed
to dislodge a hook deep in the mouth, by pushing the hook away
while holding onto the leader

There are many
advantages to using each size of Dehooker, they have a variety
of applications
When choosing a size the wire diameter of the Dehooker should
not exceed 50% of the hook gap
The use of a
Dehooker dramatically increases the survival of both bait fish
and game fish after they are dehooked.
Using a Dehooker decreases injury to your hands caused by the
spines and teeth of fish and is actually a faster way to unhook
fish.
Epoxy coated foam handle.
Handle is shape to provide a comfortable and secure grip.
Unique handle features a flat spot for your thumb, opposite the
Dehooker opening. This design simplifies and speeds up the
process of capturing the line above the hook.
Stainless steel wire is tough and corrosion resistant.
R shaped design helps keep the line in place until the fish is
removed
1) With one
hand, hold the main line where it attaches to the branch
line, while you catch the branch line with the Dehooker
2) Holding on
to the base of the branch line, slide the Dehooker
towards the hook, lifting until the hook is caught on
the bend of the Dehooker
3) Once the
hook is caught on the Dehooker, hold the hook in an
upside down position and shake, until the fish is
dehooked
