Ragot Tail Scissors 20cm

Ragot Tail Scissors 20 cm — Purpose-Built for Caudal Fin Ablation

Designed specifically for the legal marking of retained fish, the Ragot Tail Scissors make clean, precise removal of the lower caudal fin straightforward and efficient at the waterside.

Built for a Specific Job

Unlike general-purpose scissors, these are engineered exclusively for tail ablation — the process of removing the lower part of a fish's caudal fin as required under French maritime recreational fishing regulations. The 6.8 cm blade length is well-suited to the task across a wide range of species.

Comfortable to Use Session After Session

Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue, making repeated cuts comfortable whether you're on shore, wading, or on board. The compact 20 cm overall length fits easily into a tackle bag or jacket pocket without snagging.
