Personal Security Products OHTT Ole Hickory Tire Thumper

Im a kayak angler and I ordered this to be my on-board fish whacker. Its a simple and humane way to put the fish down and harvest quality meet. I knock them over the head knocking them out or possibly killing them, then I cut the gills and bleed the fish in an ice slurry. This way the fish suffers the minimum amount and I get clean white blood free meat. I also have an ikejime set on board but thats a lot more work, just knocking them over the head and bleeding the gills is simple and effective. And it floats! This was important to me, I read the questions before buying and it wasnt answered. I looked up hickory wood, it does have an appropriate density to float on water, but I wasnt certain this product was 100% hickory. I still cannot attest to the hickory composition but I am delighted to report that it does float! Testing it floating was my first order of business on the water today. And it was excellent for thumping fish! Its solid, heavy, not too heavy, looks great, feels great, and bonks em real good. 10/10 would recommend.
