Forceps, Disgorgers and Pliers
When unhooking fish, never try to tear the hook from the mouth or jiggle it about and make the wound bigger. It can sometimes be difficult to unhook carp with your fingers, so always have about you a deep pair of forceps as well as a stick disgorger and a pair of pliers - all available from your local tackle shop. All items will assist in one way or another to unhook a fish rather than following the inhumane method of simply cutting the line.
Forceps help to free a hook caught up in all manner of different positions, while a stick disgorger helps with those deeply hooked down the throat and past the barb. We also advise you to carry a pair of pliers with you at all times because fish can sometimes become double hooked. In this case the best thing to do is to cut the hook itself and slip it through the flesh of the lips rather than risk damaging the fish's feeding utensil.
