Anglers can debate the best methods for handling a fish. But the fact remains that the best fishing handling is no fish handling.
The Ketchum Release tool makes low-mortality release easy. This tool is designed to easily back out a fly hook without the need to grab or net the fish. It's easy to use: simply hold the leader taut with the rod, as you would when netting the fish. With the other hand, run the Ketchum Release down the leader and over the fly. Besides preserving protective coatings and eliminate air exposure on fish, this technique is easy on your flies.
The Ketchum Release is made from a carbon fiber thermo composite and is available in three freshwater sizes: original, midge, or big bug.
