Hook flipper
I see a lot about getting fish off the hook but nobody seems to know
about a wire 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. |

| 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. |

| >I've got one, but I'm not strong enough to flip a 35" striper! You don't have to "flip" it ;-) Drop it in the box and use the tool to snatch the hook out. Same deal. |
