Thanks Tom it was a slick tool!

I was fishing on Lake Mead Last week and I was having a problem with small mouth eating my drop shoot vary deep so I just cut the hook and remove the the hook in 2 peaces. I was working on a fish and another angler came by and saw what I was doing, He let me use a tool that he had I have never seen any thing like but I would love to find one. It was like a ratcheting pistol grip Pop rivet gun with a cutting head on it a small round tip so you could reach down as far as needed clip the point off and remove the hook with no harm to the fish. Dose anyone have any idea on what this tool is called or where to find one. He told me what it was called but I should have written it down.

You have received a lot of real good advice! I fish this lake every month out of the year. For a limit you want go with small / light dropshot rigs I like 4 to 8 lb. as light as you can my go to bait is the Yamamoto 4" Shad Shaped Worm, Natural Shad, Smoke or Watermelon Red Flake. 1/2 oz. Jigs great choose Brown / Purple don't rule out White / Shad spinner baits. The water was been holding it's owe for the last few months, But I can't stress enough Low Water Rock Piles and High winds that come out of no wear. Lake Mead is like fishing 5 Lakes in one, The Bolder Basin, The Virgin Basin, Temple Basin, Greg'sBasin and the Gip Beds, The weather and wind can be vary different from one area the next So Be careful and good luck!!!!
