Booms Fishing R08 Saltwater Dehooker 10 Inch

Overview

Booms Fishing's R08 is a 10 inch stainless steel dehooker with a T-handle, built to pull or push hooks free from medium to large fish including sharks. It keeps hands off the fish during release.

• 10 inch overall length, 5 inch handle
• Two-curve design for push or pull removal
• Austenitic stainless steel, corrosion resistant
• T-shaped handle for grip control

Who it's for

Boat and shore anglers targeting medium to large fish, including sharks, who want to release or unhook without touching the fish. Anglers who mainly catch small panfish, easy to unhook by hand, don't need this.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The tool works by hooking the shank of the embedded hook and either pushing it forward off the barb or pulling it back out, depending on which curve is engaged and how the hook sits in the fish's mouth. Its 10 inch length, including a 5 inch handle, keeps hands away from teeth and sharp gill plates during the process. Austenitic stainless steel construction is built to resist corrosion from repeated saltwater exposure.
