WARNING: Prop 65 Cancer and Reproductive Harm – This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT! Beginning July 15, 2020 all recreational, commercial, and for-hire vessels are required to have a working descending device on-board and readily available when fishing for any of the fish in the snapper-grouper fishery management unit in federal waters of the Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Florida. Fish may be released using a fishing pole or hand-line with a descending device attached to a minimum 16-ounce weight, or a weighted container, with at least 60 feet of line that is capable of returning fish back to a depth of at least 50 feet. NOAA Fisheries recommends using descending devices on fish exhibiting signs of barotrauma. The new regulation does not prohibit the use of venting tools, but a descending device will still need to be on board and readily available for use.
