Overview
A 9.6 inch squeeze-out fish hook remover from Booms, made from anodized aluminum for saltwater and freshwater use on medium to larger fish.
Rather than a pliers-style grip, this dehooker uses a squeeze trigger to push deeply set hooks back out, aimed at gut-hooked fish where standard pliers cannot get purchase. It is sized for treble hooks #6 to #1 and single hooks 1/0 to 9/0, so it suits species like trout, snapper and bass rather than very small panfish hooks.
- 9.6 inch anodized aluminum dehooker
- Fits treble hooks #6 to #1, single hooks 1/0 to 9/0
- PP and TPR textured, slip-resistant handle
- Wrist lanyard included
Who it's for
Anglers who regularly deal with deeply swallowed hooks on medium to larger fish and want a catch-and-release tool that limits handling time and hook damage.
Pros and cons
- Purpose-built for deeply embedded gut hooks
- One-handed operation frees the other hand for the fish
- Anodized aluminum resists saltwater corrosion
- Wrist lanyard guards against dropping it overboard
- Sized for medium to larger fish, not light tackle panfish hooks
- Needs rinsing after saltwater use to prevent rust
Performance notes
The PP and TPR textured handle and high-strength PP trigger are built to stay grippy with wet or gloved hands, letting one hand operate the squeeze mechanism while the other steadies the fish. The anodized aluminum body resists saltwater corrosion, though the listing notes rinsing after use is still recommended to prevent rust.
