Use of the UnHookit patent-pending tool is virtually pain-free. However, there is a level of discomfort due to the embedded fishhook which may vary depending on each situation. I personally experienced this fishhook removal process several times during the research and design phase of this product, and can attest that I felt very little, if any, pain, other than the discomfort caused by the embedded fishhook.
