I fish by myself from Canada to Florida Keys. Always have your own Hook Release Gear including 16.5” Channel Lock Straight Jaw Pliers, De-Hooking Gloves, Water for rinsing wounds and your own complete First Aid Kit. They also make “finger cots” which are like little condoms that help keep a bleeding finger wound from messing the boat up when you still want to fish but have to keep the wound clean. I have had to help many fisherman due to hooks. I have removed hooks from hands, fingers, calf, back, leg and a little jig just above a little girl’s eye! The hook to the hand was the only one on my boat and the hook in a finger was me when fishing a smallmouth stream! Funny thing is they ALWAYS want a photo before I remove the hook (except the girl and me)! Glad Gavin was able to tough it out. St Croix Rods rock. Probably have 15 freshwater spinning and baitcasting rods of theirs. Be well. Enjoy the videos.
Hey thanks for the comments and views! Yes we have the tools and the first aid kits as well. Unfortunately Gavin got hit with an open mouth full of teeth doing the damage. Nasty one but came to a full recovery haha. Even though he isn’t fond of his own blood. All good now.
It has been fun developing some new product designs with StCroix. Unfortunately we’re not at liberty to discuss some of these designs currently but we hope to next season. Thanks for view and comments.
