Overview

Built to deflate or “fizz” the swim bladder of fish, the Fishlife Fizz Needles provide surgical-grade sharpness that will help keep your catch alive – and hopefully your shot of cashing a check as well. Made to the specifications of the Texas Dept. of Parks and Wildlife, the Fishlife Fizz Needles are perfectly sized at 18-gauge, making them easy to use and easy on fish.

When fish are caught in deep water or when they are brought to the surface quickly, their swim bladder can become filled with oxygen otherwise known as barotrauma. Signs of a fish suffering from an overinflated swim bladder usually includes rolling on their side or belly.  When a fish tries to right itself back into an upright position it can exhaust a lot of energy, which sometimes results in mortality.

To relieve pressure through fizzing, lay the fish on its side and allow their pectoral fin to rest naturally. Count three scales from the furthest point on the fin towards the tail, insert the needle under the scale, raise the needle to 90-degrees, submerge the fish and the needle under water. If done correctly, the trapped air should be released through the tubing, allowing the fish to right itself and move around freely. Clean the needle with the included cleaning wire and place the cap back on for safe storage. Each needle should be disposed of properly after no more than 6 usages because they will lose their surgical edge and will not make a clean incision any longer. Nothing stings more than a dead fish penalty during weigh-ins, especially when it costs you money, so protect your investment and your catch with the Fishlife Fizz Needles.

Previous Feedback  

Comments: I'm not of fan of these. I preferred the Bends Mender, which has a bigger gauge needle and the cap has an inner needle to clean it out. This needle does not perform as well or have those features.

Comments: If your a deep offshore guy these are a must. Easy to hold, easy to store Easy to use! Just follow the instructions and you'll save your catch.

From: Trevor Elliott: Salem, Alabama 6/1/20

Comments: Been using these for a couple of years now. No problems with the plastic, no clogging. Buy several so you can always use a sterile one and clean and dry with mild bleach solution between uses.

From: Brian: San Francisco, CA 2/18/20

Comments: Im not a fanof these.  Looked great when I got them but the blue rubber coating melted on both these creating a cluster of a mess and making them trash.  Find another option
