Fish Unhooking Pliers, Disgorgers & Forceps - Items tagged as "Pike fishing"

Forceps or pliers are probably one of the most important pieces of kit in your pike angling armoury.  These are specifically designed to remove hooks from the mouths of your catch without causing damage, and prevent your fingers from getting nasty cuts and nicks - particularly important in the case of large, strong, fighting predators such as pike.  A wire cutters is also a handy thing to have, and some pliers come with a wire cutting function - handy for releasing hooks and leaders that get caught in clothing or bags. 

These tools are essential for any angler who wishes to catch and release fish safely.  Fish unhooking forceps have a long, thin shape with a curved end that fits into the fish's mouth and gently removes the hook. Pliers, on the other hand, have a more robust and sturdy design, allowing them to grip larger hooks and remove them with ease. Both tools are typically made from stainless steel, ensuring that they are durable and long-lasting, even in saltwater environments.
