FishLife Fizz Needles are designed to deflate or “fizz” the swim bladder of fish. A FishLife fish fizzing needle for bass offers surgical-grade sharpness, ensuring that your catch remains alive and healthy and increasing your shot of cashing a check. The Fishlife Fizz Needles are made according to specifications of the Texas Dept. of Parks and Wildlife; the fizz needles are perfectly sized at 18-gauge x 1 1/2″, making them easy to use and easy on fish.

If fish are caught in deep waters or brought to the surface quickly, their swim bladder may fill up with oxygen. This can cause the fish to roll on its side or belly, and it may struggle to get back into an upright position, which can be exhausting and potentially fatal. To prevent this, it is important to use a fish fizz needle. You don’t want to risk losing your catch or incurring a penalty, so protect your investment by using the Fishlife Fizz Needles!

• Fish fizzing tool deflates the swim bladder of the fish, helping to keep your catch alive
• Fizz needles provide surgical-grade sharpness, 1 1/2 in. x 18-gauge size
• Recommended disposal after 5 – 6 usages because they will lose their surgical edge
• To relieve pressure through fizzing:
  • Trim blue tabs to feel comfortable in your hand
  • Lay the fish on its side and allow its pectoral fin to rest naturally
  • Count three scales from the furthest point on the fin towards the tail, insert the needle under the scale
  • Raise the needle to 90 degrees, submerge the fish and the needle underwater
  • If done correctly, the trapped air should release through the tubing, allowing the fish to right itself and move around freely
