Commercial Grade Fish Dehooker by SNL

Getting a hook out of a deep-hooked fish while it thrashes at the gunwale is a recipe for cut fingers and dead fish. The SNL fish dehooker solves both problems. The U-style head slides down the leader, catches the hook bend, and pops it free with a quick push. The fish never leaves the water and your hands stay away from teeth and gill plates. Two sizes cover most situations: the 9 inch handles inshore species and lighter tackle, the 12 inch reaches deeper-set hooks on bigger offshore fish. Stainless steel construction holds up to salt and abuse.
  • U-style head removes hooks quickly
  • 9 inch and 12 inch sizes available
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Keeps hands away from teeth and gill plates
  • Increases fish survival for catch and release

Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Quick delivery, great service

I live six hours from my boat in Swansboro and want my gear perfect when I step onto it a few times a month. I’ve counted on TheTackleRoom for many years to make sure I get what I need, when I need it before I head to the coast, and they have always delivered. I just received another order and am glad the level of service has stayed top notch.

Release Fish Faster and Safer

Every angler who bottom fishes or trolls offshore ends up with deep-hooked fish. Without a dehooker, you are reaching into a thrashing fish's mouth with pliers, risking cuts from teeth and gill plates, and wasting time the fish needs in the water. Some fish die on the gunwale because the unhooking process takes too long.

The SNL dehooker changes that to a 5-second operation. Slide the U-head down the leader, push once, and the hook pops free. The fish drops back in the water still green. Your hands never touch the fish. For catch-and-release species like red snapper during closed season, a dehooker is not optional. It is the responsible way to fish.

U-Style Head Design

The U-shaped head cradles the hook bend and uses leverage to pop it free with a downward push. It works on circle hooks, J-hooks, and treble hooks in most situations. The design is simple, which means nothing to break or wear out. Slide it down the leader, push, and the fish is free.

Two Sizes for Every Situation

The 9 inch dehooker handles inshore species like snapper, grouper, and seatrout on lighter tackle. The 12 inch reaches deeper into bigger fish and works better with heavy offshore tackle. Most boats should carry one of each so you are covered from the reef to the deep.

Stainless Steel Build

Salt, blood, fish slime, and repeated impacts do not faze stainless steel. Rinse it after each trip and toss it in your tackle bag. The SNL dehooker will outlast every other tool on your boat.

How to Use a Fish Dehooker

1. Keep tension on the line so the fish stays at the gunwale or in the water

2. Slide the U-style head down the leader toward the fish's mouth

3. Guide the U-head over the hook shank until it seats around the hook bend

4. Push down firmly with a quick motion to pop the hook free

5. Let the fish swim away or swing it aboard if you are keeping it

6. Rinse the dehooker with fresh water after each trip

What size dehooker should I get? +
The 9 inch works for inshore and nearshore species on light to medium tackle. The 12 inch is better for offshore and bigger fish. If you can only buy one, the 12 inch is more versatile. See our bottom fishing guide for more on fish handling gear.
Does this work on circle hooks? +
Yes. The U-style head works on circle hooks, J-hooks, and most standard hook designs. Circle hooks are actually easier to remove with a dehooker because they typically set in the corner of the mouth. Learn more about hook selection in our circle hooks vs J-hooks guide.
Why do I need a fish dehooker? +
A dehooker removes hooks faster than pliers, keeps your hands away from teeth and gill plates, and dramatically improves fish survival on catch-and-release species. For regulated species like red snapper, faster release means healthier fish. Read our red snapper guide for release best practices.
Will this handle deep-hooked fish? +
The U-style head reaches hooks that are set in the throat or deep in the mouth. The 12 inch version gives you extra reach for deeper hooksets. For gut-hooked fish, sometimes cutting the leader is safer than extraction. Our grouper guide covers handling tough hooksets.
Is stainless steel necessary? +
In saltwater, absolutely. Chrome-plated or carbon steel tools corrode fast in salt spray. Stainless steel handles the marine environment without degrading. Rinse it after each trip and it will last for years. Browse more corrosion-resistant gear in our dredge snaps and terminal tackle.
Can I use this from a kayak? +
Yes. The compact 9 inch size is ideal for kayak fishing where you are close to the water and need to release fish quickly. It is one of the most useful tools a kayak angler can carry. See our gear essentials guide for a full kayak tackle list.
Does this work on treble hooks? +
It can remove single treble hooks, but tangled trebles with multiple points engaged are harder. For treble hook removal, long-nose pliers are sometimes more practical. Our treble hook guide covers hook selection and handling.
