    I'm using this Disorger since 1 year and its great to unhook flounders. No Blood, Not realy damage to the fish. Quick and easy.

    Thanks for sharing this. I caught a flounder earlier that got gut hooked. I did my absolute best to save the fish as I do care about their wellbeing. But unfortunately I didn’t have the right tools and or skills to unhook it properly and been beating myself up about it for awhile to where I’ve been researching how to save their lives and you showed me how (incase this happens again) that I can properly dispose of the hook and save the fish’s life next time. I felt so bad. Hopefully I can properly save the fish next time that happens thanks to you.

    I learnt from an old boy i think around waltin naize and clacton pier! To have a length of wool twine etc usually dyed red snelled to bend of the hook not only is it a bait enhancer you can use it to tug the hook through the gills to unhook flatties dabs mostly!

    Seems that any fish Course,Sea or Game that is allowed to hook itself can become deeply hooked and gorge the hook...striking earlier could prevent this I'm guessing.

    Hi John. I'm still really confused by this and trying to get my head round how the hook actually turns around inside if it's hooked into fish? Could you maybe please do another video and try and demonstrate without a fish so we see what happens?

    • @MElaughs
      @MElaughs 9 місяців тому

      Took me a second to work it out but I understand. You need to wrap around the line and not the hook, this tool hooks above the eye and spins the shank around where its hooked, if you're careful you can ease the hook around, letting the hooked bit slide around the bend as you pull the eye down deeper into the throat with a small loop of line hanging out the gills. Unwind the tool, when you look into the mouth, you should be able to see the hook bend rather than the hook eye. Hook this tool onto the hook and give a firm tug to pull the barb out and the hoop of line. You are going to cause damage the second the hook went in, but this method ensures you do very little damage when pulling it out.
      Condoms with the tips cut off make great practice fish.

    Can't get my head around this.
    Surely when the hook is turned around it makes a new hole in the fish, then when its pulled back through the mouth that line that's been pulled out through the gills is also pulled through that new hole and tears between the initial hole and the new hole caused by puncturing the fish twice?
    Isn't it easier and less harmful to just pull the hook out backwards through the gills then snipping it off?

      90% doesn’t work for flounders or dabs. The shape of their mouths and the way they feed doesn’t turn the circles.
