So it removes the hooks? Give us a little detail man. I'm actually curious about this. 


fishing user avatarreb67 reply : 

Last season I was putting a fresh plastic on a off set worm hook and my rod slipped out from under my arm and into my hand went the hook so my brother used a pair of needle noise pliers to pull it out. He got it on the second try because the pliers slipped on the first try. After looking on the world wide Web on the best way to remove a hook from flesh I made my own tool for this. All it is is about 8 to 10 inches of 80lb braid and 2 key rings. The way it works is wrap the line around the bend of the hook put the key rings on your middle finger make fist and yank ,it works great. You do have to hold the hook a certain way there is all kinds of videos on YouTube that shows how to do this.

Download photobucket app, upload photos there, copy image code and paste in thread

Ouch. I know how it feels. It seems to be one of fishing's mysteries how a crankbait can almost permanently embed itself into anything- except the mouth of a largemouth. Lol.

In my first year of using cranks heavily I have managed to embed them in a shoelace, in my boat carpet, in my shirt, and finally I had to remove two hooks from my forearm.

I was rushed by an approaching storm while pond fishing, so I attached a square bill-which was brand new and waiting to be tied on- to the top of my tackle bag and then threw the bag in the front seat of the truck. When I climbed in I set my right arm down and on top of the crankbait- sinking two hooks well past the barbs.

Thankfully, my fishing buddy was able to yank them out pretty quickly with pliers and provide me with alcohol and neosporin.

Anyway, since that day I treat crankbaits as if they are explosives.

And the winner is post #7. Where is my chicken dinner?


fishing user avatarpapajoe222 reply : 

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner

I keep a 24in wire leader in my box just for that purpose. Used it twice this season already, both times on spinnerbait hooks.

FYI, place the line, leader, or whatever across the bend of the hook. Press down on the eye or shank of the hook and hold the other end of the loop (in this case the two rings). With a quick pop of the wrist, the hook will back itself out. There is a video here somewhere showing how.

It's for doing the hook removal technique where you normally use doubled over line around the hook shank. Push down on the hook shank and yank. Just a little more solid way to do it. 

 

I've actually seen a hook removal kit with something similar, but it was a plastic handle with heavy mono to loop around the hook. 


fishing user avatarReelCali510 reply : 

Nice tip


fishing user avatarCatch 22 reply : 

Nice  tool.

Iv`e seen that method used. It works well in most cases.

Its important to emphasize the quick snap and pressure down on the hook eye.


fishing user avatarbigbill reply : 

Chicken dinner we have a winner.


fishing user avatarHogsticker reply : 

Man, I thought the winner was post #14. My wife's father refuses to buy a spinning reel from this century. He uses a couple of old Shimanos from maybe the late 80s? Cheapies to begin with. At any rate the bail likes to close prematurely on the cast. I've taken a crankbait right smack in the forehead. He even hooked his Australian Shepherd in the belly. Poor dog. What a fiasco that was. Glx and Imx rods, but he says a reel is a reel as long as the drag works.

All the time. Always on the lookout for hostile projectiles. He's more of a walleye guy, but we've learned a lot from each other. He's pretty set in ways with G Loomis and won't buy a new reel. Fortunately he enjoys playing around with new baits and techniques. He's a really good fisherman with the exception of his casting skills which is entirely the fault of his reels.
