The release tools all musky fisherman should use!

Even more important than large thick messed musky nets, heavy rods, durable reels, heavy lines, leaders, protective gloves and lures is proper release tools.

No musky fisherman should be on the water without them.

They include Long Nose Pliers, Heavy Duty Jaw Spreaders and Knipex Mini Bolt Cutters. There is also optional tools like a "Grab it" style tool for deeply hooked fish. They allow you to easily grab the hook itself while keeping your hands away from sharp teeth. Adding a safety laynard or floating device to them
and having an extra set of tools in the boat is always a good idea as well.

Minimize the time out of the water with the musky, support the fish horizontally and securely with both hands. Do not hold the musky vertically.

If you want to learn more about proper release tools and techniques feel free to come to one of our monthly meetings held from Sept to June. Monthly meetings are posted on Facebook on a regular basis.

Good luck on the water!
