Are You Still Venting Your Undersize Or Unwanted Fish ?

Good stuff!  Thanks for sharing Scott.

thats cool!

Looks a lot easier than venting, which I have problems doing anyway.  Are they available here yet Scott?

Here's one from the first video, alittle pricey if you lose it http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... sNum=50905

Here's the one from the Australian company, seems like they have the market cornered on it, might be expensive to get one shipped from them.


This is one a guy made.


Making one shouldn't be to hard for any of us, but I will make some calls tomorrow, maybe Economy Tackle here knows something.

thanks, Scott, I am going to try to make a couple... I'll send some photos of my results

Stopped by the tackle store today an they didn't have any but are looking into it, i'm not the first guy to ask, but they have the stuff to make one, should cost around 10 bucks.

Not bad - wonder how much weight we'd need?
I read a review on the first one above and he was using 5lb  

[Circle Hooked]

Rick for what i do 3-4 pounds should work, i don't plan on putting any big ones back  

My plan is to take the handle of a reel and use my cordless drill to reel the weight back up.

Scott,
Don't ruin your good drill with salt water. :(
 
Bet you can find one of these lying around the kitchen.

Yes, I know we've seen this posted before but ya gotta admit, this is pretty sweet.
Especially its ability to make one look upper middle class. 8)

Good idea   I remember that one    

Good thinking about the salt, maybe a cheap HF drill instead.

99 percent of my red snapper that we toss back after venting, have a second and more intense venting action performed on them by the cuda or flipper biting them in half.

That is such a simple idea that looks like it works too!
