I posted this on Allcoast but for a dehooker, make one out of a wire coat hanger. Make a small j bend on one end. About 3 inches up, make a loop using a dowel. About and inch up from that, make another loop using the dowel. Trim the hanger and tada, a dehooker. You just grap the hook with the small j until the hook is upside down and the bait should come off the sabiki no problem. Works great for smelt and sardines. Of course, its better if you pinch the barb down on the sabiki.

For bait, try old hotdog buns. I think they crumble better then cat food. One key is to not overfeed the fishys. Steady chum not a banquet, lol.
