How to use your
Fishsaverpro
How do we use it?
- Tie the line to the top swivel nearest the point of the hook.
- Add the clip to the split ring. Weights can then be added to the clip. Size 12 or 16 snapper sinkers work well and are carried by most deep-water fishermen.
- A rule of thumb is that the added weight to the Fishsaverpro device should be around 20% of the weight of the fish.
- Place the point of the hook in the mouth and pierce through the bottom lip.
- Place the fish gently head first in the water and let the Fishsaverpro and added weight pull the fish down to a depth where it can recover.
- When the fish has reached sufficient depth to recover it will often swim free itself. The hook can also be pulled free by a quick jerk on the line.
- To build a gang for dropping more than one fish at a time attach two Fishsaverpro rigs in sequence.
- Never drop or spearfish headfirst into the water as the impact can cause severe internal damage.
- Do not vent fish but just return them back into the water as early as possible using our rig.

IMPORTANT TIP When releasing from
High sided or Party boats
Some anglers have reported fish unintentionally coming off the hook, In this case use this simple method:
- 1. Attach Cord: Tie 3 feet (1 meter) of 3/16 inch (4mm) bungee, para cord or fishing line to the split ring.
- 2. Tie a Loop: Tie a loop about a foot (30cm) up from the hook for the clip and weights.
- 3. Lowering the Fish: After hanging the fish on the hook, lower it using the cord and with a small swing forward, let go of the cord. Suspending the weights a foot (30cm) up the cord also avoids spooking the fish.
Handy Notes:
- Barotrauma and stress damage increases quickly with time at surface. Fast release means success I prefer Bungee to Paracord or line as it absorbs any fish movement which protects and calms the fish. Quick Weight Changes: The quick release clip allows for fast weight changes, avoids heavy lifting with smaller fish.
- Weight Recommendation: Your descending weight should be at least 20% of the fish's weight.
