The longer/wider tag end is for speed of use and keeping the line in place. The wide end makes it quicker to wrap around your sabiki line. The longer tag end helps keep the sabiki line inside while your bait wiggles.
You wrap the tag end around your sabiki just above the bait. Then you slide it down the sabiki while pulling back and up on the dehooker and pushing forward and down on the sabiki line above (you can substitute left and right for back and forward). The hook will wrap the end of the tool, and continuing to straight up and down will point the hook down. Then a simple jerk motion, with both hands in the same downward direction, should dislodge the barb and free the bait. It should take less than a couple seconds per bait, which can be crucial on the days where you only have it under you a couple times for a short time.
