Fish Descending and Release Devices


Thank you to all who donated to this project over the last several years.  We’ve sent thousands of ID cards and descender devices to anglers all over the world. 
 
Learn how to use these devices by viewing the detailed instruction video to the right.

These devices are distributed at the Saltwater Sportfishing Show at NO CHARGE and volunteers provide live demonstrations on how they work.

Remember – the goal is No Floaters.
