Indiana Kayak Bass Nation is proud to announce DHUKR as the Official Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 INKBN season.
DHUKR isn’t just another fishing brand—it’s a product born from real-world experience where it matters most. Founded by Mike, an ER Physician Assistant and lifelong angler, DHUKR was created at the intersection of emergency medicine and time on the water. After more than 20 years on the frontlines treating injuries—including countless fishing hook accidents—Mike saw firsthand how outdated and unreliable traditional hook removal methods could be.
What started as frustration during a chaotic ER shift turned into innovation. The result is a purpose-built tool designed specifically to remove barbed hooks from human skin safely, predictably, and efficiently—no improvisation, no guesswork. Built from solid stainless steel and refined through dozens of real-world iterations, DHUKR is engineered for strength, reliability, and peace of mind when it matters most.
This is one of those tools you hope you never need—but when you do, it becomes one of the most important pieces of gear you own.
For INKBN anglers, this partnership brings real value on and off the water. At each event throughout the 2026 season, competitors will have the opportunity to take home a DHUKR tool, adding a unique and meaningful prize that goes beyond performance and speaks directly to angler safety and preparedness.
We’re incredibly grateful to DHUKR for supporting not only our series, but the entire kayak fishing community. Partnerships like this help elevate the sport while keeping anglers better equipped every time they launch.
