Abstract
A fish hook extractor has an elongated body with a handle means at one end and, at the other end is disposed a fish hook gripping means for gripping the fish hook for removal from the fish. This latter means is shaped essentially like a 2-prong fork wherein each prong has parallel sides and the prongs are parallel to each other. Each prong is preferably wider in the dimension disposed in the plane of the prongs than in the thickness, i.e., in the dimension perpendicular thereto. The base where the prongs come together is formed into a semi-cylindrical surface and coaxial with this semi-cylindrical surface are formed opposing counter-sunk surfaces each disposed on one side thereof. The ends of each prong are tapered to a point wherein the points are disposed on the outer edges of the respective prongs.
