Please don't grab them by the abdomen and unscrew. Also please don't burn them with matches, or cover them with any substance to get them out!
If you do any f these things, the tick's natural reaction is to regurgitate which severely increases your risk of infection.
You have to grab the tick as close to to the mouthpiece as possible. Recommended tools are needle nose tweezers or a tick removal device.
I carry a "Ticked #^&#^&#^&#^& tool on my keychain. It's like a spoon with a notch cut in it. Cheap on Amazon.
I know little about fishing, but I do know Ticks and the multiple diseases that they can transmit. I had 3 for many years that were misdiagnosed. Now I'm neurologically damaged.
Please trust me on this one. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
