When used on a fish that is to be released, the Tailer is more effective than a lip gaff, and it minimizes injury to the fish. Featuring a wide loop of springy stainless steel aircraft cable, the Tailer slips easily over the tail of your fish, and with a quick upward pull, closes instantly and snugly. With its tail out of the water, the fish's movements are strictly limited, so it becomes much easier to tag and release the fish, or to lift it into the boat. A swivel built into the cable allows you to better handle fish that roll and twist, which sharks frequently do. The AFTCO Tailer is four feet long with an aluminum shaft anodized a rich gold for lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion. Two soft but rugged black grips are molded from the same non-slip material found on fine rods. The 1/4-inch aircraft cable is also highly resistant to corrosion, and the smaller cable, which actually closes around the tail, is plastic coated to protect the fish.

Won't leave home without it. I use it for catching large Spoonbill Paddle Fish during the spring run. It makes it really easy to get the fish into the boat so they can be readily unhooked and safely released back into the water. Everyone who see 's it wants one.

Just what the doctor ordered. I used it for a shark fishing tournament so I wouldn't have to hurt the shark and could release them safely. Nice grips. Easy to use. Gets the job done.
