Transform Your Angling Experience With Our Fish Haulers
At Kodiak Smiling Bear Tackle™, we proudly present the B&D fish hauler: a revolutionary solution for anglers everywhere. Crafted in the USA and patent-pending (#18/319,598 dated 05/2023), our fish hauler is the brainchild of a veteran-owned company based in Kodiak, Alaska. Engineered with ergonomic precision, the hauler will streamline the process of transporting your catch from any fishing spot back to your vehicle, boat, or aircraft.
Lightweight, Durable, and Functional
The fish hauler is a testament to durability and functionality. Constructed with furniture-grade PVC tubing that is UV-stabilized, it ensures longevity even in rugged outdoor conditions. Equipped with five stainless steel fish clips with swivels and duo locks, and reinforced with strong double-braided nylon line, this hauler is designed to handle the toughest of fishing excursions. Plus, weighing less than 8 oz, it's lightweight enough to carry with ease. Whether you're targeting salmon, trout, pike, or any other species, our fish hauler is your trusted companion for a successful fishing trip.
Built to Last, Made for Adventure
Discover the innovation and reliability of the fish hauler, a product born from over 20 years of design expertise. Our fish hauler isn't just a tool; it's a testament to quality craftsmanship and enduring durability. With prototypes still in use after two decades, it's a symbol of reliability for anglers worldwide. By following simple care instructions—such as rinsing with fresh water after each use and applying a light coating of lubricant to stainless steel parts—the hauler is designed to withstand the test of time.
Safety First
Proper operation of the fish clips is essential for safety. Always close or lock the clips during transit and storage to prevent snagging or injury. Before attaching a fish to the hauler, ensure it is fully subdued or deceased, as attempting to clip a live fish can be dangerous. To open the clip, for the standard model, simply squeeze it to disengage from the holder. For the Guide Model model, squeeze the clip with one hand while lifting the spring lock up or away from the clip end, allowing the clip to open. Then, slide the open clip end up from the fish's gill area through its mouth. To close the clip, for the Standard model, just squeeze the clip and engage the holder. For the Guide Model, lift the spring lock-up to allow the clip end into the center, then release the spring back down to lock the clip. Verify that all fish are securely attached before lifting or hauling your catch.
