FISHSCALE GAFF Co Calcutta Bamboo Fish Spike Ike Jime Tuna Spike 316 Stainless Steel (Tan/White, 1/4" Diameter, 4" Length)

["Why it matters: When a fish struggles it consumes ATP, producing high levels of lactic acid in the muscles, which can turn the fish's meat sour and mushy.","Preventing \"Burn\": Immediate spiking quickly euthanizes and stops the fish from sending stress signals (cortisol/adrenaline) that ruin the meat's texture and color, preventing a condition known as \"burnt tuna syndrome,\" or Yaki.","Resulting Quality: Proper spiking causes the blood to retract from the flesh to the gut cavity, producing better-colored, flavored, and higher quality sashimi-grade fish.","While finding the brain will dispatch all fish, an increase in displacement helps with large grade tuna and other fish. Recommended Spike Daimeters are; 4\" length, 1/4\" diameter: Fish up to 40lb 4.5\" length, 5/16\" diameter: Fish 10lb up to 200lb 5\" length, 3/8\" diameter: Fish 100lb and over"]
