Provides Safer Control Of Boated Fish, and Allows For Injury-Free Tagging.
The AFTCO Tailer helps you bring a boated fish under control quickly and safely, is the ideal way to control fish while you measure them for legal size, and can be a big help in lifting fish as heavy as 100 pounds into the boat. When used on a fish that is to be released, the Tailer is more effective than a lip gaff, and it minimizes injury to the fish. Featuring a wide loop of springy stainless steel aircraft cable, the Tailer slips easily over the tail of your fish, and with a quick upward pull, closes instantly and snugly. With its tail out of the water, the fishs movements are strictly limited, so it becomes much easier to tag and release the fish, or to lift it into the boat. A swivel built into the cable allows you to better handle fish that roll and twist, which sharks frequently do.
The AFTCO Tailer is four feet long with an aluminum shaft anodized a rich gold for lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion. Two soft but rugged black grips are molded from the same non-slip material found on fine rods. The 1/4-inch aircraft cable is also highly resistant to corrosion, and the smaller cable, which actually closes around the tail, is plastic coated to protect the fish.
An $8.00 oversize packaging charge applies to this item as it ships in a long heavy duty tube to protect your items. This fee will still apply when discount shipping coupons are used.

Catching big halibut with Aftco MST-1 Tailer
September 13, 2012
Great product, the only one available on the market surely and quickly catching big fish tail. It is often happens that anglers are well prepared to hook big halibut, to pull her all the way up to the surface where the struggle of lifting her on board is just starting due to lack of proper equipment! The high risk of loosing big fish on the surface will be significantly decreased with using the Aftco Tailer. In contrast to say rope loop it will secure fish's tail firmly and after 1st attepmt, very useful tool to have on board of any trophy fish hunters!
Pros
- Strong and fastens on fish's tail firmly & quiclky
Cons
- Should be some devise mounted on it's end to secure with a rope in case it drops in a water
