Product Details FishLife Fizz Needles are designed to deflate or “fizz” the swim bladder of fish. A FishLife fish-fizzing needle for bass offers surgical-grade sharpness, ensuring that your catch remains alive and healthy and increasing your shot of cashing a check. The Fishlife Fizz Needles are made according to the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife’s specifications. The fizz needles are perfectly sized at 18-gauge x 1 1/2″, making them easy to use and easy on fish. If fish are caught in deep waters or brought to the surface quickly, their swim bladder may fill up with oxygen. This can cause the fish to roll onto its side or belly, and it may struggle to regain an upright position, which can be exhausting and potentially fatal. To prevent this, use a fish fizz needle. You don’t want to risk losing your catch or incurring a penalty. Protect your investment by using the Fishlife Fizz Needles.
