Full details
The Leeda 6-Inch Disgorger is designed for anglers, particularly those targeting small saltwater fish, who need a reliable tool for safely removing hooks from deeply baited fish. Its primary benefit is providing a quick and easy unhooking process, minimizing stress on the fish and reducing the risk of injury to the angler. A potential caveat is its specific design, which makes it most effective for smaller fish species.

Is it safe for the fish?
Yes, when used correctly, it is designed to minimize injury to the fish by allowing for quick and gentle hook removal.
Can I use this for freshwater fishing?

What is the disgorger made of?
It is constructed from high-quality stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
How long is the disgorger?
The Leeda Disgorger is 6 inches in length.
What maintenance does it require?
After use, rinse with fresh water, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry place to maintain its condition.
Troubleshooting
Disgorger gets stuck on the hook.
Ensure you are gently guiding the disgorger and not forcing it. If deeply snagged, try rotating the disgorger slightly while applying gentle pressure.
Difficulty unhooking the fish.
Make sure the disgorger has passed the hook point. Gently twist the disgorger to loosen the hook from the fish's mouth.

Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Apply a very light coat of fishing reel oil if storing for an extended period.
