Spend time fishing,
and you will be hooked.

Literally.

Getting impaled with
a hook is an inevitable accident in the sport.

You might get lucky and
be able to remove the
hook simply.

But there will come a day when you won’t.

Whether you’re prepared to deal with that can make a difference.

“Save your fishing trip!” the makers of the Fishhook Removal Kit say.

Keep the kit handy on trips, and watch the company's DVD on hook removal, they say.

The Fishhook Removal Kit comes with a fish-hook removal string,
nitrile gloves, an anti-septic wipe, first-aid ointment, self-adhesive dressings, Ibuprofen tablets and a heavy-duty plastic carrying bag.

The cotton removal
string works better
than the usual fishing
line that anglers often use, because the barb tends to get snagged in
the string, in case the hook gets flung when yanked out.

The DVD, “Accidentally Hooked: A Guide to Human Fishhook Removal,” demonstrates several methods for removing hooks and how to care for the wound.

“Accidents happen!” the company says. “Be prepared!”

The kit is only $7.99, and the DVD is only $12.99.
