It has been tested in the harshest conditions by those who risk their lives to bring the freshest catches to the pickiest chefs all across the world.Now, this level of professionalism can be achieved by every angler who wants to share the best-tasting fish with their friends and family.Imported From JapanEstablished in 1979 in Fukuoka Japan, Lumica Corp. has been developing cutting-edge fishing products that are extremely popular around the world. Now, the USA is starting to see what cutting-edge gear has been in use by top Japanese anglers for years.We looked for years to find the best ikejime kit that's used by fishermen all over the world. We're proud to bring this kit to you to improve the quality of fish you bring home.Easy-To-UseAlthough;this Ikejime Kit is professionally made, it has been designed for ease of use by anyone. With an ergonomic handle, anyone can precisely spike the fish without much force and glide the wire down the spinal column.This allows the nerves to cease firing to keep the fish and umami flavor intact.SizeSALTWATER FISHShape memory stainless steel wire can be compactly stored.Ideal for yellowtail, halibut, small tuna, white seabass, flounder, rockfish, opaleye, and large freshwater fish.Wire diameter 1.2mmWire length 800mmSpike length 90mmWhat Is The Ike Jime TechniqueIkejime is the process of humanely killing a fish in the quickest amount of time while preserving the highest quality of the meat. Review: Perfect for Haddock/Cod - One Gripe: sometimes it feels too difficult to push the wire down the spinal cord after braining the fish (it bends going through the hole meaning the fish is waiting while for you spike it properly to shut off its motherboard while you improperly try to jam a wire down its back) but as I have learned **spike downward into the brain first to shut the brain off quick. Watch for the eyes of the fish to flash and change. Then "crunch" and angle it from down to parallel to the tail. You do this by almost giving it a second spike (pull out only slightly from initial downward jab) now you should be pointing back toward the tail after repositioning the hollow spike for wire insertion...the process is better this way (double jabbing it before wire insertion) and you can tell you are doing it right when the wire goes easily through the spine (after repositioning the second jab) and the fish should shake and shimmy then go limp if you're doing the wire insertion correctly. If there's any resistance whatsoever when you start to push the wire through... you're doing it wrong! and need to re spike at the right angle backward (just imagine the wire going in a direct line from the back of the head down to the top part of the tail fin) Those who say the wire isn't strong enough haven't mastered the technique, trust. I honestly believe the tool is perfect and anyone's issues have to do with finesse and commitment to learning this art form that isnt for everyone but should be. I'm buying another one for posterity and to look "cool" on the boat and because learning the technique sort of means you have to ruin the first one if you don't have guidance. I would say you need to put at least 20 fish to sleep on two or more occasions to truly get the feel for it and appreciate it for all the very true beneficial reasons it exists. Solid, niche product for the most serious fisherman and the product makes filets stay completely fresh in the fridge for two weeks. No joke. It also makes a crappy fish like a pollock taste halfway decent. Like magic. Review: Should work on big catfish. Well made. - It is made with decent build quality. Certainly sharp. I haven’t used this one yet but it looks perfect. ## Features - ✅ AUTHENTIC IKEJIME KIT: Designed in Fukuoka Japan by Lumica Corp who has over 42 years of experience building high-quality fishing products. This Ikejime Kit has been field-tested with commercial anglers to durability while being designed for the recreational angler for ease of use. - ✅ HIGHEST QUALITY MEAT PRESERVATION: Ikejime is a technique that dates back over 2300 years. It is the most humane way to kill a fish and by removing the ATP production in the spine after death, the umami flavor and fish texture remain the highest quality. - ✅ WHAT’S IN THE KIT: The kit has been designed and tested for ergonomic efficiency. From the material selection to the grip positioning, this Ikejime kit is easy to use. The spike has a large handle which allows for a powerful thrust into the fish. The wire is sturdy enough to reach all the way to the end of the fish without kinking. We’ve even developed an easy way to store the wire when not in use. - ✅ MOST HUMANE METHOD: Not all methods for dispatching a fish are ethical. Rest assured that the Ikejime method will allow for the least amount of suffering for the fish and the highest quality of meat for consumption. What better way to enjoy the fish that you’ve caught than by preserving the fish in its natural state. - ✅ PERFECT FOR ANY TYPE OF FISH: This Ikejime Kit works for all fish species including, but not limited to Halibut, Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado (mahi mahi), Ulua, Cobia, Amberjack, Yellowtail, Red Drum, and more! - included_components Sheath ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09D749KGR | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #111,344 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #246 in Seafood Tools | | Blade Edge | Ikejime Spike | | Blade Length | 90 Millimeters | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Ike Jime Spike | | Blade Type | Ike Jime Spike | | Brand | Xtrada | | Brand Name | Xtrada | | Color | Magenta Iki Jime Handle | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 103 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Ikejime Textured Plastic Handle | | Included Components | Sheath | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 31.5 Inches | | Item Shape | rod | | Item Weight | 59 Grams | | Model Name | Authentic Ike Jime Tools | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Fishing | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3.5" | | Special Feature | Rust Resistant | | Special Features | Rust Resistant | | Style | Japanese | | UPC | 665275803857 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Xtrada - **Color:** Magenta Iki Jime Handle - **Handle Material:** Ikejime Textured Plastic Handle - **Included Components:** Sheath - **Model Name:** Authentic Ike Jime Tools - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Fishing - **Special Feature:** Rust Resistant - **Style:** Japanese ## Images ![IKEJIME KIT Authentic Ike Jime Tools: Ikijime Fish Spike With Wire Stainless Steel (Imported From Japan) Magenta Iki Jime Handle Long Ikejime Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kKEgZJJiL.jpg) ![IKEJIME KIT Authentic Ike Jime Tools: Ikijime Fish Spike With Wire Stainless Steel (Imported From Japan) Magenta Iki Jime Handle Long Ikejime Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717MZ0Hx+JL.jpg) ![IKEJIME KIT Authentic Ike Jime Tools: Ikijime Fish Spike With Wire Stainless Steel (Imported From Japan) Magenta Iki Jime Handle Long Ikejime Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MJpMOQOEL.jpg) ![IKEJIME KIT Authentic Ike Jime Tools: Ikijime Fish Spike With Wire Stainless Steel (Imported From Japan) Magenta Iki Jime Handle Long Ikejime Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ug8KJWnCL.jpg) ![IKEJIME KIT Authentic Ike Jime Tools: Ikijime Fish Spike With Wire Stainless Steel (Imported From Japan) Magenta Iki Jime Handle Long Ikejime Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SPa3umzjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on snakehead due to their bony skull?** A: Yes, it should work fine. If you find that the skull is too dense, try the alternative method of using a knife to brain the fish, then cutting the tail to expose the spinal column. Run the ikejime wire from the back end towards the head for the same effect. Tight lines! **Q: Will this work for trout 9-15 inches** A: Yes, this ikejime kit will work for trout in that size range. There is also a Pocket Ikejime option sold on Amazon with a carabiner that works well for smaller fish. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Haddock/Cod *by W***H on September 7, 2023* One Gripe: sometimes it feels too difficult to push the wire down the spinal cord after braining the fish (it bends going through the hole meaning the fish is waiting while for you spike it properly to shut off its motherboard while you improperly try to jam a wire down its back) but as I have learned **spike downward into the brain first to shut the brain off quick.
