One of the safest methods for removing impaled fish hooks is the string method, where the hook eye is pushed down as a string– usually fishing line– secured to the bend of the hook is used to yank the hook free.  The Fishhook Removal Kit employs this method of hook removal, with the added benefit of using a 36-inch loop of 1/4 inch wide cotton tape, often used in the medical field.  One of the benefits of using this material instead of fishing line is that once the hook is popped free, the barb will catch on the cotton fabric, eliminating the risk of the air-born hook striking bystanders. The Fishhook Removal Kit retails for $7.99.
