On one particular fishing trip when we first started fishing pike on the fly, we pulled in a gigantic pike. Thankfully we had jaw spreaders but at that time just a pair of needle nose pliers for hook removal. I had my arm in most of the way to my elbow and never went pike fishing without a Pro-Drift Predator Stainless Steel Hook Remover again.
Not your average hook remover, the Pro-Drift Predator Stainless Steel Hook Remover features a strong return spring and a positive feeling trigger along with hook gripping teeth to ensure a good grip on the fly and to prevent fly damage due to poor hook removals. It also helps prevent having to place your arm in large predators mouths!
