Unless you are a "Catch & Release” angler, the Yamashita (야마시타) Ika Shinkei accessory will pose a moral dilemma with each squid you catch: to instantly put it out of its misery, or temporarily prolong its soon to end life?
The Japanese created the Ika Shinkei and believe that by using it they show respect for the squid and expedite the death process.
Many argue that using the Yamashita (야마시타) Ika Shinkei, makes the squid more delicious, as they do not secrete substances that can later effect their taste and does not allow them to spill ink in the boat.
The Yamashita (야마시타) Ika Shinkei consists of a plastic handle and a metal blade. The shape of the blade is such that placing it between the eyes brings a major blow to vital organs of the squid killing it instantly.
