Catch & Release tool specifically for bluefin tuna fishing
― Entirely handmade by master craftsman Luciano from Marche, Italy, with many 400kg monster tuna releases to its credit ―
■ Product Overview
The XXL 140cm model is a special made-to-order Japanese specification with a total length extended by 20cm to meet the needs of large charter fishing boats.
For long-term operation and the release of large bluefin tuna, the robust and globally used stainless steel model is ideal.
■ "Authentic Craftsmanship" by Master Luciano
Each Pratico Releaser is meticulously handmade by craftsman Luciano, who resides in the Marche region of Italy.
The releasers he creates are not just tools, but "life-saving tools" trusted by anglers worldwide.
They have a proven track record, honed in the harsh testing environments of strict international regulations, such as for 300kg class bluefin tuna in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and giant groupers in Florida.
■ Features
- Releaser for Large Fish: Compatible with big game fishing for bluefin tuna casting, groupers, etc.
- 100% Handmade Manufacturing: Italian craftsmanship by Luciano
- Highly Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Designed for long-term use and resistance to salt damage
- Fish Resuscitation: Safely resuscitate and release fish by sending oxygenated water to their gills
- World-Standard Reliability: Clears international regulations and complies with Japan's Fisheries Agency Bluefin Tuna Catch Regulations
■ How to Use (Rope is essential)
Grip: Squeeze the grip to open the arms, and release it to automatically close and firmly grasp the fish's jaw. It's easy to get the hang of.
Operational Precautions: Due to sudden turns or movements of tuna, you may be pulled into the sea or cause an accident. Please exercise extreme caution during operation and always use a backup rope. Also, be very careful when removing hooks. Do not forget to protect your hands with gloves, your eyes with sunglasses, and your head with a cap. For releasing monster-sized fish, we recommend having several people as backup. Image training and assigning roles in advance are also necessary for safe operation. Please be careful of accidents or injuries due to Pratico operation and always operate at your own risk.
Until Release: Larger individuals require a longer resuscitation time before release. Please tow the fish slowly with the boat to ensure sufficient oxygen intake through the water flow, resuscitate it, and then release it.
Maintenance: Washing with fresh water is essential. Since salt can cause seizing, regularly maintain all moving parts with oil.
