HOOK REMOVER
Jun 28th, 2016 at 12:39pm
 
Does anyone carry a hook remover on their fishing vest?? I am checking E bay and other sources on what's available.

Any advice on a hook remover for a fishing vest??

This one was in in-fisherman:   www.coldsnapoutdoors.com

I am on Doctor's orders for light duty (can't lift more than 10 pounds) so I have been unable to go fishing. Some fisherman do catch fish over 10 pounds. Grin

Sure, but how does this relate to you?   Wink

A hemostat with curved jaws.
A large sewing needle with 'head' chopped
off, and pointy end glued into a wooden dowel.

BTW, I've found going barbless makes for easy dinker removal.

As long as you leave your hook insertion device at home you should not need to worry about a hook remover or lifting ten lbs.

Me I am looking for a good hook inserter. The current method is inconsistent at best.

I am looking for a vest remover.  The zipper got stuck and now I can't get out of it.  I've been wearing it since late November.  Please help.

I tried the sous vide thing on my vest.  Now I'm stuck in a vest and have second degree burns on about 56% of my body. 

I'm not sure how any of this relates to Walgreens Chap Aid.

You should have known to only buy a vest with a YKK zipper. Every other zipper is inferior.

Use the chap aid to lubricate the zipper.  Maybe you can get out of that thing.
