SFD™ (Shelton Fish Decender™) Release Tool

Why you need this:

When you're fishing in Alaska, preserving our precious fish populations is crucial. The Shelton Fish Descender Release Tool (SFD™) is your essential tool for safely returning fish suffering from barotrauma back to the depths. By using this tool, you ensure that fish with inflated air bladders are recompressed properly, giving them a better chance of survival. This tool is designed for ease of use and maximum effectiveness, making it a must-have for any responsible angler.

How to use:

The SFD™ is inserted into the fish's mouth and through the thin membrane of the lower lip. Ensure the penetration is near the thick part of the lip for better support. The S-shape design allows the tool to lay back along the fish’s lower body during descent, keeping the line along the bottom to protect the fish's extended eyes. To release the fish, simply snap the line upwards. Always use the lower lip for attachment to avoid damaging the fish's eyes. Descend the fish with the wind at your back so the boat drifts towards the fish if it accidentally drops off.
