The easiest and safest way to iki jime your catch! It features a super sharp stainless steel spike with a protective cover, mounted in a highly visible, robust BPA-free plastic grip handle with an inbuilt bottle opener and lanyard attachment.

What is The Ikipik?

The Ikipik is a highly visible, safe, and easy-to-use iki jime device that penetrates efficiently through the fish, ensuring a quick end to your catch and longer-lasting fillets for you and your family. The name "The Ikipik" is derived from the term "Iki jime," a Japanese method for paralyzing a fish while maintaining the quality of its flesh.

Why should I use The Ikipik?

Simply cutting the neck of a fish may seem sufficient, but using The Ikipik to euthanize your catch instantly kills all nerve endings, preventing the release of lactic acid that breaks down the flesh, leaving it sour, soggy, and less tasteful. Another crucial reason to use The Ikipik is to treat your catch humanely. When placed in a bucket or catch tank, even with the neck cut, the fish die a slow, agonizing death. As fishers, we strive to do the right thing, so treating our catch with respect should be a priority. The iki jime method is endorsed by Australia’s National Code of Practice for Recreational and Sport Fishing.
