Admit it Dwight, you just don't want to stick your index finger past the crusher teeth, that does have kind of a wierd feel to it.
Actually, my short and easy hook removal method for LMB prevents the barb from doing additional damage as the hook is removed, that is not quite as easy to do with just hemotsats or needle nose pliers.
I do have to admit my method has to be done by feel rather than by sight though.
