"Every once in a while a product comes along in which ergonomics, functionality and construction come together to make an exceptionally useful tool. The Compliers have fit this bill. While simplistic in design, they have met many of the functional requirements traditional tools such as pliers and hemostats have fulfilled. In addition, Compliers have answered all of the weaknesses of traditional tools. Compliers will not corrode, they don't get hot in the sun/cold in the winter. They won't sink. They're light weight, easy to handle and amazingly durable even when handling the heavier tackle of tournament bass fishing and inshore salt water fishing. A great product for the weekend angler or tournament fisherman."

"The Compliers are better than any hook removal systems I have used. Being made of plastic means that you can store them in your tackle box and not worry about rust getting on your tackle. I liked the auto-open design because it just makes it easier to get a hold of the hook. When I used them in tournament fishing, I found that I didn't tear up the fish like I did with regular pliers, and that means a better shot at the money. I have used the pliers quite a bit and they still look like new."

"I must admit that although they looked excellent and the price was competitive, I was a bit skeptical as to their effectiveness. However, I have since flogged the heck out of a pair of these on my boat, on cod, shark, gurnard and other fish, and I find that they are very effective."

"I have used many types of hook removers, and will say this is the best yet. It maintains a positive grip on the hook, so you can twist or pull to cause less injury to the fish. I recommend it strongly to NAFC members and to the public."

"Great tool! Grip strength on the remover was more than sufficient. [I'm] surprised with the strength of the material to withstand maximum handle pressure. Super tool for pan fish hook removal. Design and function [are] excellent. Strongly recommended."

"As an avid Walleye fisherman, I found the Compliers to be a very useful tool to remove hooks from walleyes' tough mouths, which makes for easier and safer release of the fish. I would recommend Compliers to anybody who practices catch and release."

"I really like this product because it is easy to carry in your tackle box, light weight, and very handy in pulling out the hooks, especially on catfish. I won't get 'finned' anymore in the future, and I would recommend this product to any fisherman. I have had a couple of fishing buddies say how great they [the Compliers] were and wanted to know where I got them from."

"I have a problem in my right hand from an accident. I was able to get a good grip with the Compliers. They surprised me how strong they were. I would recommend them to anyone."

"To prove looks can be deceiving, the plastic Compliers hook remover is the most efficient catch and release tool I've ever used. It gently spreads the fish's mouth, and grasps the hook shank, enabling you to turn it back out with minimal damage. I'll give it a "10" for performance, and time will tell for its durability."

"I was surprised at the amount of abuse they [Compliers] stood up to. They were kicked around the boat, sat on, and at one point disappeared for a week. I found them in my 4-year old son's toy box, to my amazement, in one piece."

"I used the Compliers on six fishing trips. They were used by two fishing partners and myself. We removed over 22 fish hooks and lures using them. They are lightweight and easy to grip. Even my wife, who has small hands, found them easy to use. They are rust free (so no need to lubricate) and colorful (so easy to find), definitely a product that works as advertised."

"I was pleased to find that Compliers removed even the treble hooks easily without injuring the northerns. We couldn't eat all the fish we caught, so many were returned safely to Winchell Lake thanks to Compliers. I like the plastic material used, as in the winter I fish the Gulf of Mexico and the salt will not corrode the tool. Thanks and congratulations to the designers and manufacturer of the Compliers. I will recommend it the rest of my fishing days."
