PETITJEAN MP-Releaser: The Ultimate Fish-Friendly Unhooking Tool

For the modern fly angler, the experience doesn´t end when the fish is brought to hand; it concludes with a safe and respectful release. The revolutionary PETITJEAN MP-Releaser is the definitive tool for anglers who practice and perfect the art of catch and release. Designed by the legendary Marc Petitjean, this innovative device is engineered to ensure maximum fish welfare by minimizing handling, stress, and air exposure. It allows you to return your prized catch to the water swiftly and unharmed, preserving the health of the fishery for future generations.

Master the Art of Catch and Release

The core principle behind the MP-Releaser is to keep the fish in its natural aquatic environment throughout the entire unhooking process. By eliminating the need to net, handle, or even touch the fish, you protect its delicate slime coat—a crucial barrier against infection and disease. This is especially vital when targeting sensitive species like trout and grayling. The speed and efficiency of the releaser dramatically reduce the stress on the fish, increasing its chances of survival and ensuring it swims away strong. It is the most ethical and effective way to practice catch and release.

Designed with ingenious simplicity by Marc Petitjean himself, the process is seamless and intuitive. With the new MP-releaser of Marc Petitjean it is possible to unhook and release a fish without touching it or taking it out of the water. The constitutive spring at the front of the tool, absorbs softly any movements of the fish. You can, whether you are right or left handed, put the tippet inside the tool, you reach for the fly and without moving the releaser, the fish is released. This gentle, shock-absorbing action prevents injury to the fish´s mouth and ensures a clean, quick release every time.
