While I am fully aware the multitude of things that happen when fishing and while taking the hook out, twisting the hook out is rarely required. Snap swivels can open as things do happen, and im sure you probably know this already, but grabbing the hook, whether treble or single by the shank and pushing it out in the same direction it went in is much more efficient. If fishing with de-barbed hooks there shouldnt be much reason to twist. Easier on the fish and on your gear. Cheers.
