AFTCO Release Fish Tailer

The AFTCO Release Fish Tailer provides a secure and controlled way to handle large fish for measuring, tagging, releasing, or bringing a catch aboard. Its flexible stainless steel aircraft cable slips over the fish's tail and cinches securely with an upward pull, helping limit movement while maintaining control. The plastic-coated cable provides additional protection for the fish during handling and is built to withstand repeated exposure to demanding saltwater conditions.

Measuring four feet long, the Tailer features a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum shaft with two non-slip grips for secure handling. An integrated swivel allows the cable to rotate as a fish rolls or twists, making the tool particularly useful for controlling sharks and other powerful species. With the ability to handle fish weighing up to 100 pounds, it provides a practical solution for safer boat-side handling and release.
