Overboard Boat Dehooker – Stud Mount | 316 Stainless | USA Mad

The Overboard Boat Dehooker is a permanent hands-free release station for your boat — built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel and stud-mounted wherever it makes sense for your setup. Guide the fishing line through the eye, let the fish's own weight roll its mouth back over the hook barb, and the fish drops free. No grabbing. No pliers. No fumbling at the wrong moment.

Once installed, it becomes the most-used tool on the boat.

How It Works — Three Steps

1. Bring the fish alongside and control the fishing line
2. Guide the line through the dehooker's eye opening to engage the hook
3. The fish's own weight and momentum rolls its mouth back over the hook barb — fish drops free

Works with hooks, jigs, lures, and spoons across a wide range of styles. The dual-direction pivot lets you position the tool for inside or outside operation from wherever the fish comes in.

Why a Mounted Dehooker Changes Everything

• Always in position — before the fish is even at the boat, the release station is ready. No searching for pliers, no handing tools between anglers
• Every angler on board can use it — mounted and accessible to the whole crew. One tool, one location, everyone knows where it is
• Especially valuable with dangerous species — catfish, rays, sharks, and other fish with spines, stingers, or teeth never need to come within arm's reach
• Cleaner decks — fish release without ever coming aboard. Less mess, less slime, cleaner operation
• Better catch-and-release outcomes — less handling time directly improves post-release survival rates, especially in warm water conditions
• 316 stainless — marine-grade alloy that handles saltwater, UV, and hard use without rusting or degrading

Where to Mount It

Requires minimum 2.5" clearance over the outside of the boat. Stainless mounting hardware and anchors included.
