The Overboard Universal Dehooker takes the same proven hands-free release system off the boat rail and onto virtually any surface you fish from. A 360-degree pivot arm and rail/dock mounting kit put it on kayaks, docks, skiffs, jon boats, coolers, live wells, and fish boxes — if you can mount hardware there, you can mount an Overboard Universal Dehooker.
Guide the line through the eye, let the fish's own weight roll its mouth back over the hook barb, and the fish drops free. Then swing the arm into its low-profile storage position and keep fishing.
What's Included — Complete Kit
316 stainless or composite — same hands-free release mechanism as the Boat Dehooker
Universal rail for kayak, dock, and surface mounting
All hardware needed for kayak rail, dock post, and surface installations
Included — keeps the tool secured when not mounted
Nut, washers, and rail bolts — everything needed to install
The 360° Pivot — Why It Matters
Most fishing setups don't have a convenient flat panel right where you need a release station. The Universal Dehooker's full 360-degree pivot arm solves that — position it exactly over the water, over a cooler, over a live well — wherever the fish comes in. Between uses, swing it to a low-profile storage position so it's out of the way without needing to remove it.
