Them flippers work on any kind of fish. We make them out of stainless steel tig rods. You can make 2 out of one rod.
If you don't have a flipper just hold your line up with it hanging......touch him..... he will stop moving, then slide your hand up on its back and put his back fin between your pointy and middle finger and get the hook out.
Also, when i go trawling we use green rubbing alcohol after we get picked by shrimp or a catfish, burns like a mofo buts it is supposed to kill all the bacteria......also gives your hand a minty fresh smell.
