While fishing the other day I found this on the ground. I'm think it's a fishing tool for tying knots but I might be wrong.

I would use a tool like that for tuning crankbaits

I don't believe that tool is a hook remover. More of a tying tool or a tool used to adjust crankbait like was stated above.

That slot and circle opening looks like an old saw set used to bend the saw teeth left and right so they cut a wider kerf than the saw body. But it's to small to be much use for that so I'm going with crankbait tuner considering where found.

I had one of them before but I have no idea it's intended purpose. I can tell you its soft metal and if you use it with any force it'll break easily.

Looks like someone took their wife or girlfriend fishing and they got bored while waiting. It seems she decided to push the cuticle on their finger nails while sitting around. Then dropped the tool without realizing it.

I don't think anyone has nailed it yet.
I hope someone does as I have on in a tackle box that I picked up at an auction some time back.
Been wondering ever since.

Will be watching ..... and researching a bit.

As you were,
Thanks

I sent a picture of the item in question to a friend of mine
He says it's for replacing bail springs and it makes sense if you've ever changed bail springs
The slot's on the ends are different sizes to fit different size springs
I think he might be correct

I'm guessing he had some Mitchell 300s.

I learned from the 300s that if you want a bail spring to last that you close the bail by hand
I don't know if new ones are any better because I still close the bail by hand and give the line a tug so I don't create a loop on the spool

300 Mitchells, use a lot of them. Lake Trout fishing yesterday with 6 pound line, got 5 small lakers jigging. Am eating part of one right now. I have not broke a spring in many years. But to replace one, I put the little tit into the hole in the bail slide the bail into place and tighten the screw. Don't see how that thing would help......jk
