Frequently Asked Questions

Why slime coat protection matters:
Fish have a protective MUCUS LAYER (slime coat) covering their entire body. This layer protects against parasites, infections, and water-quality stress. When fish are caught and held in livewells, the slime coat gets damaged from livewell walls, other fish, and handling. Damaged slime coat = stressed fish = death.

Critical for tournament bass anglers:
Tournament fishing requires fish ALIVE at weigh-in (dead fish = penalties or disqualification). After weigh-in, fish are released ideally to survive the spawn and contribute to the fishery. Catch & Release additive is THE STANDARD for serious tournament anglers concerned about: 1) weigh-in survival, 2) post-release survival.

BASS Master / FLW tournament use:
Catch & Release is widely used at the highest levels of competitive bass fishing. Tournament officials know it. Top pros recommend it. The standard livewell additive for serious tournament fishing.

Beyond tournaments:
Even casual catch-and-release anglers benefit fish you release survive longer to be caught again. Better fishery health for everyone.

How to use:
Add to livewell water at the start of each tournament/fishing day. Re-dose if changing water during long days. Follow bottle dosing instructions for your livewell capacity.
