Catch & Release tool dedicated to Bluefin Tuna games
― Completely handmade by master craftsman Luciano in Le Marche, Italy. Used to release many 400kg monster tuna ―
■ Product Overview
The XXL 140cm model is a special, Japan-exclusive specification with 20cm of added length to meet the needs of large charter boats.
For long-term operation and the release of large Bluefin tuna, the robust and widely trusted stainless steel model is the best choice.
■ "Authentic Craftsmanship" by Luciano
Every Pratico releaser is meticulously handmade one by one by craftsman Luciano, who resides in the Le Marche region of Italy.
The releasers finished by his hand are not just tools, but “life-saving instruments” trusted by anglers around the world.
They have a proven track record, having been polished in harsh testing environments under strict international regulations, such as those for 300kg-class Bluefin tuna in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and giant groupers in Florida.
■ Features
- Large Fish Dedicated Releaser: Compatible with big games like Bluefin tuna casting and grouper fishing
- 100% Handmade: Italian craftsmanship by Mr. Luciano
- High-Durability Stainless Steel Construction: Designed to withstand long-term use and salt damage
- Fish Resuscitation: Safely releases fish by providing oxygenated water flow to the gills
- World-Class Reliability: Compliant with international regulations and Japan's Fisheries Agency Bluefin Tuna Regulations
■ How to Use (Safety rope required)
Grip: Squeeze the grip to open the arm; release it, and it closes automatically to firmly grasp the fish's jaw. It is easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Usage Cautions: There is a risk of being pulled overboard or involved in accidents due to the tuna's sudden turning or behavior. Please be extremely careful during use and always attach a backup rope. Exercise great caution when removing the hook. Do not forget to protect your hands with gloves, your eyes with sunglasses, and your head with a cap. We recommend that multiple people perform a backup for monster-sized releases. It is necessary to mentally simulate the process and assign roles in advance for safe operation. Please be aware of the risks of accidents and injuries associated with using the Pratico and ensure you use it at your own risk.
Before Release: The larger the individual, the longer the resuscitation time required before release. Please ensure you resuscitate the fish by towing it at a slow speed behind the boat, allowing it to take in sufficient oxygen through water flow before releasing.
Maintenance: Rinsing with fresh water is essential. Since salt can cause components to seize, perform regular maintenance on moving parts using oil or similar lubricants.
