So~Lo TAILSNARES So-Lo's TAILSNARESare unequaled in engineering and operation, and are constructed of Marine and Aircraft quality S.S. cable, swivels and fittings. Each model has been "fine tuned" to snare and hold specific sizes and types of fish until the decision has been made to keep it or "release it unharmed"! Our SURF and FLATS snares will actually hold a "Trout or Bonefish". Our models range from SURF and FLATS snares for trout/bonefish/bluefish/etc. to FLYING GAFF TAILSNARES for sharks/tuna/marlin/etc.! **  IMPORTANT  ** I.G.F.A. News Update As of March of 2007 a new ruling has been made by The I.G.F.A. regarding the use of tailsnares;tailsnares now fall under the same guidelines as straight gaffs and flying gaffs.  As a result of this new ruling you cannot use any So-Lo Flying Tailsnares (#222-01 or #228-01) in conjunction with a So-Lo 8' flying gaff handle (Models number 299-18 and 295-18 or older models number 299-08 and 295-08) as THEY WILL EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE OVERALL LENGTH per I.G.F.A. regulations; this will disqualify a fish for record consideration as well as I.G.F.A.-sanctioned tournament eligibility.  USE ONLY our Flying Gaff Handle Models number 295-06, 295-16, 299-06 and 299-16 or THE NEW So-Lo Flying Tailsnare Handles models 295-TS and 299-TS which are designed to give you the maximum allowable tailsnare reach, within the new I.G.F.A. guidelines, when tailsnaring a fish for I.G.F.A. tournament or record consideration.
