Abstract: A fishhook remover for dehooking a fishhook from a catch is provided. The fishhook remover includes a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein the first jaw has a needle for engaging an eye of the fishhook, the needle projecting from a surface of the first jaw toward an opposing surface of the second jaw; wherein the second jaw has an opening on the opposing surface that is configured to receive the needle. The first and second jaws are operatively coupled to move between an open position where the first and second jaws are separated by a maximum distance possible and the eye of the fishhook can fit over the needle, and a closed position where the first and second jaws are at their closest approach to one another and the needle contacts the second jaw to securely retain the fishhook between the first and second jaws.

Abstract: A wire shaping tool and method of using the tool to reshape wire, including the discrete sections of wire in a wire mesh panel, is provided. The tool includes a pair of levers joined at a fulcrum positioned closer to one end of the levers, a pair of jaws on one side of the fulcrum, and a pair of handles on the other side. The first jaw can include an elongate body with a concave surface having a pair of opposing lateral edges. The second jaw can include a complementary convex surface configured to converge toward contacting the concave surface of the first jaw. The concave and complementary convex surfaces can transform the shape of a wire positioned between the jaws when they are actuated. The second jaw can include a third shaping component that allows for the simultaneous reshaping of two adjacent wire sections in a wire mesh panel.

Abstract: A fishhook remover for dehooking a fishhook from a catch is provided. The fishhook remover includes a hollow shaft having a first end, a second end, and a bore extending from a handle provided at the first end to an opening provided at the second end. The fishhook remover includes a retractable grabber within the bore of the hollow shaft and extending out from the second end for grabbing/retaining the fishhook, and an actuating member slidably engaging the hollow shaft between the first and second ends for actuating the grabber between an extended position and a retracted position. The fishhook remover includes a fishhook alignment needle for engaging the eye of the fishhook. The needle can be in proximity to the second end of the hollow shaft and configured to orient the fishhook in a position where it can be engaged by the grabber.
