I've tried the small wire hook extractors allegedly designed for this purpose, but they don't seem to help much.

I wonder if my treble hook extractor for trout might work for mackerels on a sibiki? Has anyone tried these?

Anything else faster/easier/gentler than needle nose pliers?

One way is to flatten the barb and pull then in quickly. I've watched a video and expect that's how they get baitfish off so easily.
