Hook removal tools

[FLKingFisher]

Anyone have suggestions on what works the best? I have a little cheapie that Bass Pro sells, but it is not the best, and quite a pain. I have seen this one http://www.boatersworld.com/product/472100056.htm but wanted to hear some feedback from any who have used before I buy a $60 tool to become garage fodder.

I love the one I have now. 12" T handle de hooker. Always seen them on others boats but was intimidated by them until I learned how to use one properly. Will not fish without one now.

Gary Caputi, writer for the Saltwater Sportsman sent me this link and swears by these dehookers.

Is it possible to remove the hook when a small fish swallows the bait/hook?
I caught about 9 fish from the surf so far and two of them swallowed... so I only cut the line and released them. I would like to remove the hook if possible.

The T-Handle won't remove the hook from a gut hooked fish, but they are great on lip hooked fish. I have one I bought and several I made and they work great. They are particularly useful when bailing dolphin.

ok Ill be the one to show my lack of knowledge, I have seen em used on the TV shows but have never used one myself, they (tv) do it so fast I can't get a grasp on how to use one. Could someone post up a vid on it???

[FLKingFisher]

Got the T handle one as advised, now it just needs to clear up a bit so I can figure out how to use it. I don't do the video thing, but Ill try to explain it when I get it figured
