## Overview

The FishSaverPro descending device is a compact, NOAA-compliant tool crafted from marine-grade stainless steel and nickel-plated copper. Designed to maximize fish survival with over 85% success, it uses an adjustable weight clip requiring only 20% of the fish’s weight for safe descent. Its simple, mechanical-free release system ensures reliability and minimal fish injury, making it the smart choice for responsible anglers targeting species like red snapper.

## Description

Fishsaverpro is an engineered descending device for fish that need to be returned after being caught in deep water and are suffering from decompression or Barotrauma. NOAA Data shows the highest survival rate (85%) for fish with barotrauma is by using a descending device for their release. Fish venting is no longer considered good practice as it carries high risk of internal damage and infection and only releases gas from the airbladder and not expanded gasses trapped within the flesh and body. Fish with Barotrauma are usually exhausted and unable to swim to depth unaided. Fishsaverpro takes them down quickly which helps avoid predator attack and facilitates quick recovery. Fishsaverpro is a small, strong and compact engineered design making it safe and easy to store and use. The design avoids mechanical failure as it does not rely on any mechanical release and as the fish are not being restrained can swim off once it has reached recovery depth or when in danger thus reducing the risk of shark and predator attack during fish descent. NOAA compliant and good for all fish caught at depth including reef fish, perch, trout, grouper and snapper. Fishsaverpro is supplied without weights and is patent pending. The small size helps to minimise damage to the fish and the device is made from selected high corrosion resistant stainless materials for long life and durability.

Review: Absolute Requirement for Reef Fishing In Florida - Check Your State Regulations! - As of April 2023, Florida requires any vessel targeting reef fish to have onboard either a venting tool or a descending device that's "rigged and ready for use". A descending device is also a requirement for reef fishing in Federal waters. In Florida, reef fish species include groupers, snappers, amberjacks, gray triggerfish, red porgy, sea bass, hogfish and tilefish. The issue is that, when you bring these fish up from deep reefs, the air in their air bladders expands and the fish becomes bloated. You'll often see these fish with bulging eyes and their stomachs pushing out of their mouths. If it's a fish that needs to be released, such as an under-sized grouper, for example, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, for the fish to descend back down to the reef while bloated with all that air. With the descending device, you simply attach a suitable weight to the device then hook the device to the fish from the top -> down. The weight pulls the fish back down to the reef and as the fish is pulled deeper, the atmospheric pressure increases, and the expanded air in the fish returns back to "normal". Because the fish is hooked on the (barbless) device from the top, a simple jerk up on the rod safely releases the fish from the device. I have not yet had a chance to test this specific descending device, but it appears well-made and I'm quite certain it will work as intended. Remember, it's not enough to have this device sitting in a tackle box when reef fishing in florida. It must be rigged and ready to deploy, so best to rig it on a cheap/spare rod and bring it every time you go reef fishing.
Review: Simple to use - Now with requirements being what they are, it's required to have a descending device onboard even when fishing inshore now where I'm at. It's a good idea to try and save as many fish as possible when releasing them and this help tremendously. Only problem I had was trying to figure out the best way to use it without carrying an extra rod and take up a bunch more space. So I rigged it to a Kite Fishing rod and an old levelwind reel that's been sitting around for decades. Coupled with a small deepdrop weight it works great and doesn't take up much space.

## Features

- Durable and Safe Design: Engineered to last with marine-quality stainless steel main components and nickel-plated copper ball bearing swivels; free from high carbon steel components.
- High Fish Survival Rate: Over 85% fish survival; NOAA studies highlight descending devices like FishSaverPro as the best recovery option for barotrauma, outperforming venting tools which are not NOAA reccomended or approved.
- Quick Weight Change Clip: Easily adjust weights based on fish size; only 20% of the fish's weight is needed to descend, reducing unnecessary heavy lifting.
- Compact and Reliable: Fits easily and safely in your tackle box; does not rely on mechanical or pressure release systems that can break or fail.
- No need to have to set release depth just attach the fish and send them down. Fish can swim free once recovered or if threatened by predators, minimizing mouth damage and predation.
- Flexible Rigging: Rig 2 or more units together for multiple drops
