Booms Fishing Hook Remover Tool: 2pack Portable Dehooker Tools Saltwater Review
Our verdict
The Booms Fishing Hook Remover 2-pack is a compact $8.99 dehooker set that carries the highest rating in this comparison, 4.7 stars, though across a smaller sample of just 31 reviews. With 100+ bought last month and a stainless steel build in a blue grey finish, it targets saltwater hook removal rather than the broader gripping job of a standard plier.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Releasing a fish quickly and safely, especially one caught deep or in saltwater with corrosive spray in the air, is exactly the scenario the Booms Fishing Hook Remover 2-pack is built for. Priced at $8.99, it sits between the Berkley BTSTLP6 at $10.99 and the Rapala RCP6 at $11.97, undercutting both while still being built from stainless steel.
The set ships as two pieces in a blue grey finish, giving an angler a spare or a second size on hand rather than relying on a single tool. Stainless steel construction matches the material grade of the pricier $20.11 Texas SR-5, and the dehooker design is aimed specifically at pulling hooks free rather than the broader clamping job a fish gripper handles.
The standout number here is the rating: 4.7 stars, the highest of any product in this comparison, beating the 4.6 stars of both the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6. That said, it is built on just 31 reviews, a far smaller sample than the 396 to 848 reviews behind those competitors, and 100+ bought last month is solid but trails the higher-volume alternatives.
Pros
- Highest rating in this comparison at 4.7 stars, ahead of the 4.6 stars each carried by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6.
- Priced at $8.99, cheaper than the Rapala RCP6 and Berkley BTSTLP6.
- Stainless steel build matches the material grade of the pricier Texas SR-5.
- Ships as a 2-pack, giving anglers a spare tool or backup on the water.
- 100+ bought last month shows steady recent demand.
- Currently In Stock and ready to order.
Cons
- Only 31 reviews on record, the smallest sample of any product in this comparison.
- 100+ bought last month trails the 200+ to 500+ pace of the pricier alternatives.
- No listed weight or overall dimensions beyond the blue grey color and 2-piece count.
- A dehooker tool rather than an all-purpose plier with cutting or gripping functions.

Performance notes
A dehooker built for saltwater use needs to resist corrosion from salt spray and repeated dunking, and stainless steel construction is the right material choice for that job, matching the same grade used on the pricier Texas SR-5. Shipping as a 2-pack in a blue grey finish means an angler always has a backup on hand if one tool is dropped overboard or misplaced mid-trip, which matters more for a smaller, easily lost dehooker than for a full-size plier. The listing does not include a weight figure or overall length, unlike the Texas SR-5's exact 0.06 kilogram spec, so buyers comparing pocket size will need to check the product images directly. For quick hook removal on saltwater species, the stainless build and two-piece count line up with what the Booms name and the saltwater framing in the title promise.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star rating is the highest of any product in this comparison, edging out the 4.6 stars shared by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6, but it rests on just 31 reviews, far fewer than the hundreds behind those two or the 848 behind the Berkley BTSTLP6. That makes the rating encouraging but statistically less settled than the competition. The 100+ bought last month figure shows real, ongoing demand, ahead of the Texas SR-5's 0+ but behind the Rapala RCP6's 200+ and the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+. Together, the pattern reads like a newer listing that is winning over the buyers it has reached so far, without yet accumulating the review volume or purchase scale of the more established alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Booms Fishing Hook Remover come as a 2-pack?
The listing packages two dehooker tools together in a blue grey finish, which gives an angler a spare on hand if one is dropped or misplaced during a saltwater trip. Buying a pair for $8.99 total also works out cheaper than the $10.99 to $11.97 price of the single-unit Berkley or Rapala pliers in this comparison.
How reliable is a 4.7 star rating built on only 31 reviews?
It is a strong number but a small sample compared to the 396 to 848 reviews behind the Texas SR-5, Rapala RCP6 and Berkley BTSTLP6. A high rating on 31 reviews is encouraging, but buyers who want more certainty may prefer a listing with a longer track record before deciding.
Is this dehooker suitable for saltwater fishing?
Yes. The product title specifies saltwater use and the tool is built from stainless steel, a material that resists corrosion better than plain metal for repeated exposure to salt spray and water. That construction matches the same material grade used on the pricier Texas SR-5 in this comparison.
