Hook flipper

It is a stainless rod about a foot long with a small hook on the end that you slide down the line until it catches the fish hook. Then a quick flip will toss the fish off. The pull is straight along the body of the hook. It's great for toothy guys like bluefish or slimy guys like catfish. I make them from a stainless car antenna with a sturdy wood handle so if it falls overboard it won't sink. I've got one, but I'm not strong enough to flip a 35" striper! That 35" striper is going into the cooler and will be on your plate soon so you don't need to use the flipper on him. You used the flipper on the smaller fish so you don't damage their skin. |
