Say no to shark tax! As seen on National Geographic.

The Ocean Guardian FISH01 is the world’s first innovative long-range shark deterrent system designed specifically for fishing, and is Powered by Shark Shield Technology, the world's most only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent technology. Fish off the back of your boat knowing that your catch is protected from the dreaded shark tax.

Sharks are opportunistic by nature and will naturally single out any food source that appears easy to exploit. Nowhere is a shark’s opportunistic behaviour more apparent than when fishing. It’s well known among both the commercial and recreational fishing communities that a struggling fish is irresistible to sharks.

Research has shown the use of Shark Shield Technology in fishing resulted in:

• Preventing the majority of shark species from attacking hooked fish
• A significant reduction in the number of incidents of predation
• Improvements in the efficiency of fishing operations
• Less time spent at sea

Easy to deploy off the back of any vessel, the new FISH01 is based on the proven design of the Ocean Guardian FREEDOM7 dive product and provides a large and powerful protective area to keep your catch safe from sharks.

Simply drop the FISH01 power module with the antenna installed off the back of your boat to freely drift around with your line in the current or attach it to the drop-line so that it is positioned vertically in the water.
