This is a handy little tool that exists to make hook removal when a fish has taken the hook a little too deep in the mouth, it works great ! I used to use my index finger to push the hook down, which does work quite well BUT this tool comes in a few different sizes making it easier for fish like pike……not sticking a finger in that mouth !
You basically guide the cut out slot area down the hook to the bend of the hook, push down and turn a little out should come the hook. It is not a costly tool at all and a good one to have for those deep hooks, just thought I would share this picture/tip as I have been asked many times how this works or even what it is.
