As a stocking filler, I would always be
happy to get a pair of braid scissors. I
just can’t keep hold of them, either
they slide off the cutting board overthe side, or drop into the bilge. Not
only do they cut braid and mono effi-
ciently but they can be pressed into
service when trimming fine fish baits.Angling guide

Opinel Stainless
Steel Knife
Every fisherman
needs a knife and
these are a perfect
gift. With its stain-
less steel blade, classic look, locking
mechanism and beautiful wooden
handle...these are not only a pleasure
to use, they're pleasing to the eye too.
They are super sharp and will stay this
way if kept well honed. Perfect foreverything from chopping up your
bait to filleting a fish......and at around
£15 for one in a larger size, won't
break the bank either. A great gift!

The
SeaQualizer
The SeaQualizer
is an innovative
release tool
designed to help fish recover from the
effects of barotrauma.
Barotrauma results
from bringing a fish up from depth too
quickly preventing it from releasing air
from its air bladder quick enough as
pressure on it is decreased. This
causes the air bladder to expand
beyond its normal size.
The SeaQualizer is a pressure activated
release tool that attaches to a fishing
rod or retrieval line and releases
the barotrauma stricken fish at a
predetermined depth set on
the SeaQualizer. EachSaltwater model has three depth
settings to choose from. 30-50-70ft
for the Shallow, 50-100-150ft for
the Standard, & 100-200-300ft for
the deep.
By bringing the fish back down to
depth, pressure will re-compress the
enlarged swim bladder causing the
fish to become neutrally buoyant
allowing it to swim regularly as well as
eliminating all other physical effects
seen at the surface.
The Standard SeaQualizer is our
original device. It has three depth
settings (50-100-150) to choose from.
This device is ideal for fishing in up t
o 300ft of water for most effective
releases. As a rule of thumb fish
should be released from between 1/3to 1/2 the depth at which they are
caught. So if you are fishing between
60-300 feet, this is the device for you.
