Easy Fish Hook Remover Tool 10pcs Fishing Disgorger Plastic Portable Review
Our verdict
The Easy Fish Hook Remover Tool packs 10 plastic disgorgers for $4.99, less than half the price of the $10.99 Berkley BTSTLP6, and still holds a 4.1 star rating across 159 reviews. It will not outlast a metal tool, but at under five bucks for a ten piece set, it earns its spot in a tackle bag as a cheap backup.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want a lightweight spare hook remover to toss in a tackle box or glove compartment, casual freshwater fishers who lose or misplace gear often, and anyone testing out a disgorger before spending more on a metal pair.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish saltwater often or handle bigger fish, since the plastic body and 4 gram weight are built light. Anglers who want one tool to last for years should look at the stainless Texas SR-5 or Rapala RCP6 instead.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Digging through a tackle bag for a hook remover after a fish swallows a hook deep is a common headache, and the Easy Fish Hook Remover Tool is built to solve that cheaply. It ships as a 10 piece set in red and green for $4.99, with each piece weighing about 4 grams and made of plastic sized medium. That is a full box of spares for less than the price of a single premium tool.
At 4.1 stars across 159 reviews, it sits below the 4.3 to 4.6 range of the pliers style tools in this category, and its 50+ bought last month figure is far behind the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and the Rapala RCP6's 200+. The gap makes sense given the price difference. The Texas SR-5 costs $20.11, the Rapala RCP6 costs $11.97, and the Berkley BTSTLP6 costs $10.99, all built from stainless steel or a metal blend rather than plastic.
For the money, ten disgorgers instead of one gives an angler backup after backup, which matters if tools tend to get lost overboard or left on a dock. It will not match the durability of a stainless tool built to survive years of saltwater use, but as a low cost multi pack for casual trips, the value case is straightforward.
Pros
- Ships as a 10 piece set, giving multiple spares for the $4.99 price
- Each piece weighs only 4 grams, adding almost no bulk to a tackle bag
- Priced at $4.99, well under half of every stainless steel alternative listed here
- Holds a 4.1 star rating across 159 reviews, a solid base for a budget tool
- Comes in red and green so pieces are easy to spot inside a tackle box
Cons
- Plastic construction at 4 grams will not hold up like the stainless steel Texas SR-5
- Its 50+ bought last month figure is far below the 500+ for the Berkley BTSTLP6
- 4.1 star rating is the lowest of the four fishing pliers style tools compared here
- 159 reviews is a smaller sample than the 396 to 848 reviews on the pricier options
- Medium sizing and light plastic build are not suited to bigger saltwater species

Performance notes
The core spec here is the 10 piece count at 4 grams per unit, which points to a tool built for disposability rather than one piece durability. Plastic construction keeps the whole set light enough to disappear in a shirt pocket, and the medium sizing suggests it is shaped for typical panfish and bass rather than oversized saltwater catches. Having 10 units in red and green colors also means a lost or dropped piece is not a real setback, since 9 more remain in the set. Compare that to the single count stainless tools like the Rapala RCP6 or Berkley BTSTLP6, where losing the one unit means buying a whole new tool. The tradeoff is metal versus plastic: the pliers style stainless options list weights around 0.06 to 0.3 pounds per single unit, built for repeated use, while this set spreads a similar total weight across ten disposable pieces.
What buyers say
A 4.1 star average across 159 reviews is respectable but sits at the bottom of the pack compared to the 4.3 to 4.6 stars the pliers style options in this set earn. The 50+ bought last month figure is modest next to the Rapala RCP6's 200+ and the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+, which suggests fewer shoppers are choosing this exact listing even though the price is the lowest of the group. That pattern usually points to a niche budget pick rather than a mainstream default, bought by anglers who specifically want a multi piece plastic set rather than a single premium tool. The review count itself, 159, is still enough volume to trust the 4.1 average as a real signal rather than a small sample fluke.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Easy Fish Hook Remover Tool durable enough for regular use?
It is built from lightweight plastic at about 4 grams per piece, which favors portability over long term durability. The 10 piece set means a cracked or lost unit is not a major loss, but anglers wanting one tool to survive years of regular use may prefer a stainless option like the Rapala RCP6 or Berkley BTSTLP6.
How does the price compare to other fishing hook removers?
At $4.99 for 10 pieces, it undercuts every alternative here. The Berkley BTSTLP6 runs $10.99, the Rapala RCP6 runs $11.97, and the Texas SR-5 runs $20.11, all as single count tools. This set costs less than half of the cheapest metal option while providing ten times the piece count.
Is this hook remover suited to saltwater fishing?
The listing lists a plastic build and medium sizing aimed at general fish handling rather than saltwater specific use. With a 50+ bought last month figure well below the saltwater capable stainless options in this category, it reads as better suited to casual freshwater trips than to serious saltwater work.
