Quick take
A NOAA-compliant reusable device that returns deep-caught fish to the seafloor with three depth settings.
The SeaQualizer Standard Release is a descending device for returning fish to depth after they have been brought up from deep water. You clip it to the fish, choose a 50, 100 or 150 foot setting, and lower it; a pressure pin opens the clip at that depth. It is made in the USA from stainless steel and plastic, and suits boat anglers who release deep-water fish. Add your own sinker for heavier fish.
