What is the small hook remover "HR100SS-H"?
The "HR100SS-H" is a palm-sized small hook remover that is easy to carry. Previous hook removers were mainly designed for large fish, but this new model is designed for small fish like rockfish, black bream, and silver biddy. This tool, especially useful when fishing with plugs, is lightweight yet uncompromising in functionality and design.
The appeal of a lightweight yet highly functional design
The greatest features of "HR100SS-H" are its weight and size. Weighing just 45g and with a total length of 178mm, it is compact enough not to be in the way when hung on a life jacket or placed in a tackle box. The color variations, such as navy blue, red, and shot black, are also attractive, making it especially recommended for anglers who care about the appearance as well as the functionality of their fishing gear.
Actual impressions from use (Review)
Upon actually using the "HR100SS-H", what surprises you is how easy it is to handle. Despite its small size, it firmly grasps the hook and allows for safe removal, significantly reducing the stress during release.
The grip end includes a leash cord to prevent loss, so there is no worry about accidentally dropping it into the water. The ability to securely hold the hook from any angle is also a good point.
