I actually have to use really small hooks so they don’t snag on my Sibiki rod.

You mean those guide-less poles? haha such a waste, espically that time you get hit by some pelagic while using the sabiki.

Squid sabiki with bigger hooks are hands down the best bet! I have never had an issue taking the maks off by hand and having them less lively and I have caught a few YT in my day.

PSHHHHH.
Good thing mine was given to me.

Also glad to be in a place that I wouldn't consider 50 dollar rod a "Waste"

To each their own, I guess.

I've done it both ways, and enjoy the peace of mind of not having a kayak full of tiny hooks to manage.

I just use the backside of a butter knife, works for me!

I have used the Ahi bait rod for many years on piers and found them very helpful in managing hooks, ease of storing hooks and placing them in my car.

I have both sizes. They are grrrrrrrreat. They are even better for boat and kayak fishing.

Anybody who has them and hates them, can give them to me. I will find good home for them.

As to removing hooks, the bent wire one is a good tool.
