Asalt Fishing Venting Tool is perfect to keep on hand when a fish "deflator" is needed. The needle is 5" long with a wooden handle. Overall measurement is just under 9". Large enough to get the job done, but small enough to keep in the tackle box. Should meet local fishing requirements but you should always confirm with the local regulations. Comes with storage tube.
