Abstract
A notched dehooking device having a handle (2) located at a first end of an elongated shaft (3) and a hook removal portion (4) having a notch (6) affixed to a distal end of the shaft. The notch works to capture and hold fishing hooks while dehooking a fish. The distal end of the shaft is bent degree to 30 degrees horizontally to form a horizontal offset angle (8) and 1 degree to 30 degrees vertically to form a vertical offset angle (7). These offset angles work to better accommodate circle hooks a large range of other types and sizes of hooks and also to hide a barb or point of a hook while removing the hook thereby preventing re-engagement of a hook with a fish after being removed.
Claims27
A dehooking device comprising:
- an elongated shaft;
- a handle affixed to a first end of said shaft for holding said dehooking device;
- a hook removal portion affixed to a distal end of said shaft for engaging and removing hooks having a distal side and a proximal side;
- and
- a notch located on said proximal side of said hook removal portion for engaging and removing hooks.
A dehooking device comprising:
- an elongated shaft having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a handle affixed to the proximal end of said shaft for holding the dehooking device;
- a hook removal portion affixed to a distal end of said shaft comprising a spiral loop having a proximal side and a distal side;
- a notch located on the hook removal portion for engaging and removing hooks
- a vertical offset angle created by bending the distal end of said shaft for hiding a barb or point of a hook thereby preventing re-engagement of a hook with a fish after being removed;
- and
- a horizontal offset angle created by bending the distal end of said shaft for hiding a barb or point of a hook while removing the thereby preventing re-engagement of the hook with a fish after being removed.
A dehooking device comprising:
- an elongated shaft having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a handle affixed to the proximal end of said shaft for holding said dehooking device;
- a hook removal portion affixed to the distal end of said shaft having a proximal side and a distal side and comprising a partial loop having an open sections a gate hingedly attached at one end of said partial loop and a spring to hold said gate against said partial loop's other end;
- a notch located the hook removal portion for engaging and removing hooks;
- a vertical offset angle created by bending the distal end of said shaft for hiding a barb or point of a hook while removing the hook thereby preventing re-engagement of the hook with a fish after being removed;
- and
- a horizontal offset angle created by bending the distal end of said shaft for hiding a barb or point of a hook thereby preventing re-engagement of a hook with a fish after being removed.
