Rapala 3" Saltwater Bait Dehooker
The Rapala 3" Dehooker speeds up your bait catching operation. Slide the tool down the line, engage the hook, and twist. The bait comes off clean and alive, ready for the live well. The stainless head resists corrosion and the wrist lanyard keeps the tool from going overboard.
- Stainless steel head for durability
- 6.5" overall length
- Wrist lanyard prevents drops
- Fast hook removal for live bait
Keep Bait Alive With Faster Dehooking
Every second a bait fish spends out of the water reduces its chance of surviving in the live well. A dehooker lets you remove hooks in one quick motion without handling the bait, keeping your fingers off the fish and the fish in the water faster.
The 3" size is perfect for standard sabiki rig bait like pilchards, herring, and greenbacks. Slide the tool down the leader, pop the hook, and the bait drops into the well. With practice, you can clear a loaded sabiki in seconds.

Stainless Steel Head
The business end is stainless steel for saltwater durability. It engages hooks cleanly without damaging the bait or dulling the hook point.
Wrist Lanyard
The lanyard keeps the tool on your wrist when you are juggling a sabiki rig with multiple baits. Drop it and it stays with you instead of going overboard.
Compact 6.5" Size
Small enough to fit in a pocket or clip to a lanyard. Always within reach when bait starts loading up on your sabiki.

- Catch bait on your sabiki rig and swing them aboard
