Hi Guys
Not sure if you are aware that once we touch the skin of a Mackerel with bare hands, you might as well kill it anyway, it dies a horrible death otherwise, if returned.
Fish for what you need then stop, or take great care in releasing them.

You're right but one way to unhook is.
Hold the hook and shake gently, they drop straight off without having to touch them.

I fish for them just for a bit sport and never handle them if I put them back. A pair of small nose pliers is all you need for spinners and a Gemini disgorger for when your float fishing, simple really.

ive took the barbs off a couple of my spinners for when im putting them back, you don't loose many if you keep the line right
