I tried a pair of long needle nose pliers, but they are a little short. I have a pair of really long chemistry tweezers/thin, blunt tongs, but I wasn't able to get them around the leech knot. It either pushed the knot further up or off to a side. There isn't much room in the leech "baffle" to maneuver around the knot. My next approach is to use a crochet hook.
Anyone else have approaches?
Thanks in advance.

Believe it or not, I have often used the wood saw blade of my Leatherman Wave to snag a line inside a hole.
5 inches may be a little out of it's range though. Maybe a keyhole saw blade would work.
