I have tried many hook removers and this is by far the best one I’ve ever used. Great design, easy to use and it works perfectly.

I use it on trout, bluegill, and when crappie really inhale a small jig at the boat dock. I’ve also given one to my fishing buddy.

Had this tool for a Month now and it’s wonderful. It’s featherless and having a Lanyard attach to it makes it even faster to Unhookum. It’s the perfect size to slide right in place where the hook is and without damaging your hackle or fly (unlike forceps) even had a few deep hook sets but the Unhookum Tool did it perfect. This is truly a Fly fishers Dream Hook Removal

Reviewed the video of the unHookem tool and was amazed how quick and easy it was.; What really impressed me is the deep throat removal. No more ripped up fish or bugs. You can return them to the water with out damage to the fish. I have not even bought one yet and I like it!

Absolutely the BEST tool for removing flies (especially those way down deep) from bluegills and bass. While $17.99 seems kind of expensive…the tool is well made and WELL WORTH the money.You’ll save the money in torn up flies in no time!
(works much better than forceps)

I have been extremely pleased with the unhookem tool. I use a lot of bully bugs (barbless) and the gills seem to take em deep. I can "punch out" the bug without harm to the fish.

I've also been using the tool for trout fishing. Just punch the fly loose.

I think the word "punch" is key to using the tool. Line the tool up with the curve of the hook…right against the top of the fish's mouth and give it a quick "punch".

I liked the tool well enough to buy a second tool for my trout vest and one for my bluegill mini chest pack.

Received 2 Unhookum's Saturday. I am impressed with the packaging and quality.I went smallmouth fishing with my wife on Sunday and caught dozens of nice smallmouth and got to use Unhookum quite a few times. The tool works as promised. That is rare these days. We are very impressed with the service, quality and presentation. We owned a sporting camp in Maine for many years here in Maine and now guide folks on the rivers and they will get to see this tool in action.

I received several Mr. Tuffy flies on Saturday. I fished with them on Sunday and caught dozens of nice Maine smallmouth bass. They absolutely LOVE this fly! As a Master Maine Guide, I've used many different flies on smallmouth over the years and this is by far the best!! Even after catching dozens of fish on the one fly, it still looks like showroom condition…very well made.
