The Overboard Composite Dehooker is the go-anywhere option — a 4oz handheld dehooker built for anglers who want hands-free hook removal without permanent mounting. It fits in a fishing vest pocket, clips to a lanyard, slides into a tackle bag. The same line-through-eye release that makes the mounted Overboard models so effective, in a tool light enough that you forget it's there until you need it.
No mounting. No installation. Pull it out, guide the line, fish drops free.
Who It's For
Features
- 4oz composite construction — light enough to carry in a pocket all day without noticing it
- Pocket or lanyard carry — no mounting, no installation, no tools needed to deploy
- Same hands-free release mechanism — guide the line through the eye, the fish's own weight does the rest
- Works with hooks, jigs, lures, and spoons — same wide compatibility as the mounted models
- Perfect kayak backup — carry one on your person even if you have a Universal Dehooker mounted on the kayak
- 100% USA made — tough composite construction built to last
How It Works
Same core mechanism as every Overboard Dehooker — no grabbing, no pliers required:
- Control the line — bring the fish close enough to guide the line into the tool
- Guide through the eye — slide the line through the dehooker's opening to engage the hook
- Fish releases itself — its own weight rolls its mouth back over the hook barb and it drops free
