Sabiki input

[Ddwineguy]

I would suggest de barbing all the sabikis. This happened to me yesterday on the water on my first bait of the day. Past the barb on my reeling hand so it cut my day short. Had to get it backed out at urgent care. It hurt worse to have to quit .

I've seen this wire handle thingy that people use to just push the bait off the hook. Didn't seem like the barbs really got stuck in the fish. But, I'm sure it hurt like heck in your hand.

BTW.. anyone know what that wire thing is called? And it seems easy enough to make, I guess if I could find some kind of stainless steel wire? instead of a coat hanger wire..

Bait remover... Add a wine cork as a handlel so if floats.

Where does one get one of those? I'd love to not have to get my hands all slimey removing lizard fish from my sabiki!

That's a great pic! I think I can make these, if I can get some stainless steel wire. I may have a convenient source.

Stainless is good for no rust but I think spring steel would be better for holding its shape.

No, this would be very stiff SS wire, actually surgical stainless steel. Just depends on how long a piece is needed, and how much scrap I can find at work. I'll look into it, and if there is a lot, I'll make some extras for people interested.
