It was designed to minimize stress to the angler and more importantly the fish, a big plus for catch and release. It also protects the angler against any nasty spikes, or gill rakes and avoids getting fish slime on their hands. Indeed the anglers hands need never touch the fish during the entire hook removal process. The Ezy Off is a strip of neoprene material with the comers cut at angles. These strips are then joined to form off-circular cones. It comes in three sizes to suit small medium and large varieties of fish. Most fish can be released without any human contact, which is great for both parties.OAI
