SLOB STICK TUNA SPIKE Neon Green/Purple

The Slob Stick Tuna Spike is a handmade ike jime brain spike with a Calcutta bamboo handle in the Slob Stick colorway (Neon Green/Purple). Neon green and purple, built for the slobs: the fish you'll be talking about for years.

A quick, accurate spike to the brain stops a tuna from thrashing on deck. That means less bruising, less lactic acid build-up and better-tasting fish. It's the first step of the Japanese ike jime method, and one of the easiest ways to improve the quality of your catch. Learn more in what is a tuna spike and when to use it.

Features

• 316 stainless steel spike, marine-grade and built for saltwater.
• Calcutta bamboo handle that's light, grippy when wet and naturally buoyant.
• Optional screw-on sheath to protect the point (and you) when it's riding in a bag or on a belt.
