Description

Insert the Yamashita Egi Oh Ika Shime quickly and
directly into the squid's head to cause immediate brain death. It's
the quickest and most humane way to kill your catch - best of all,
it keeps the flesh in its freshest, tastiest condition. This
specialist squid fishing tool not only serves as an iki spike, it
also doubles as a hook straightener too. Plus, it's small enough to
fit into your tackle box.
"Ika shime" is the Japanese technique of putting a sharp object
through the squid's central nerves system. This is done when the
fish is prepared "sashimi style". A fish that died of stress has
rigor mortis and tastes horrible. A fish that is still alive, but
just paralysed, tastes brilliant.
