Petitjean Releaser

Petitjean Releaser Fish Release Tool

The Petitjean Releaser is an innovative fish release tool developed by Marc Petitjean specifically for modern catch-and-release fly fishing. Its unique design allows the tool to slide down the tippet directly to the hook, enabling fast, safe, and efficient hook removal without touching the fish or lifting it from the water. 

Innovative Design for Secure Hook Removal

A specially engineered guide channel securely captures the tippet and keeps it in place as the tool slides toward the hook, preventing the line from slipping out. The flexible body and integrated spring absorb the sudden movements of a fighting fish, making it easier to reach the hook and release it safely and efficiently. 

Release Fish Without Handling Them

Once the tool reaches the hook, the fish can be released with a smooth motion without being handled or removed from the water. If the fish suddenly makes another powerful run, the tippet can be instantly disengaged from the tool with a simple flick of the wrist, allowing you to continue fighting the fish safely.
