“Pistol-Grip” Fish Hook Remover
You can remove a fish hook safely and easily from deep inside the fish’s mouth with this new “pistol-grip” fish hook removal tool. The Quarrow® Fish Jaw Spreader uses a pair of long, stainless steel prongs to lock the fish’s mouth open for retrieval of the hook. Squeezing the tool’s plastic handle produces a ratcheting action that locks the fish’s mouth open, allowing you to reach in with a pliers and remove the hook. Once that is done, pulling on a trigger releases a spring-loaded mechanism that brings the prongs back together.
Because of the tool’s ratcheting action, the prongs can be opened anywhere up to 6 in. wide without harming the fish.
The Quarrow® Fish Jaw Spreader can be used with either your right or left hand and is equipped with a wrist lanyard. It sells for $12.99 on the company website.
