What is The Ikipik
The IkiPik is a highly visible, safe, easy to use iki jime device which penetrates easily through the fish to ensure a quick end to your catch and longer lasting fillets for you and your family.
The Name “The IkiPik” is derived from the term “Iki jime”, a Japanese term for the method of paralyzing a fish whilst maintaining the quality of its flesh.
How Do I Use The Ikipik
To safely use the Ikipik on your catch identify the iki point. This is where the brain cavity is. Once this is identified simply spike the fish by pushing into the flesh, thus euthanizing instantly. The fish should, if spiked correctly, stop moving. This will ensure a much more humane end to your catch compared to cutting the neck or placing in a catch tank live.
