If you have a treble hook in your foot you need like 30-40lb. test mono to pull it out, not a pair of pliers. You should however have something strong enough to cut the hook away from the jig so you don't have to worry about the extra weight making things worse. That being said I only have a pair of simple wire cutter from Harbor Freight. Never had a hook in me (as an adult) and hope to never have one.

Push the hook through the entire way, bend the barb so that its flat, pull the hook out.

2X, what he said, works every time, the mono trick might work with two people but can be tough to do on yourself and it does open the wound a little. Circle hooks are much easier to remove.

Well the trap hook on foot was referring to chuck D story.... but I was trying to see if anyone carries some awesome pliers on their yak just in case you get a hook stuck in you.

I carry a couple pairs of the cheap $2 pliers that you find in the bargain bin. Since the two pieces are just loosely connected with a single screw you can keep using them after they get rusty. With needle nose pliers the smallest amount of rust makes them unusable. I also have stainless dikes in my tackle but rarely use them.

I keep a small "bolt cutter" pliers in my tackle for the purpose of cutting large hooks.

The regular side cutters won't do the job.

It all depends on the size of your foot, the hook and if the tide was ebbing or flowing when it went in. I am a fan of the line removal method, and have done and coached it several times (on others). Don't cut the hook from the lure if you intend to use this method. The lure can help you aim and steady the hook for removal.

I've seen some videos of removal using line but don't see any advantage over using pliers really. Just grab the hook low near the skin and need to hold the hook at the right angle while removing. Hopefully I never need to try this myself.

As far as pliers go, I have a pair of the p-line *adoro* pliers (or whatever they are called) and I love them. Has a lil spiral cord that I attach to my pfd and I can drop them and not worry about losing them

I have removed lots of hooks while working on the party boats for 12 years,
Screw pliers. Buy a good set of dykes(side cutters) with long handles so you have the leverage to pop a hook if needed. My dykes are a set of ideal short nose. They have been in and around saltwater for over 10 yrs and I've never had them seize on me, I do soak them in WD and penetrating oil once a year. They snip through the heavy trebles on a salad 7x like they were a paper clip. Cut off push through if alone. Use line if others around to help or if closer to entrance side.

Im with Skrilla, Channel Lock's or Klein's. They will rust but just break them free and you are good till you lose them. Little lube via saltwater and you are golden. The dykes hold an edge very well and duck bills are the best for gripping hooks.

As for removal methods I too have done the line one a couple times on others and this method is the best by far.

I think what's wrong with his technique is that he is pulling up with the string rather than parallel with the surface. In this case since the diameter of his arm is curved, I would have actually pulled down.

When he yanks on the hook it comes out from under his buddy's thumb and the hook flips. I think if he had line attached to the eye of the hook his buddy would be able to keep it in place.
