REVOLUTIONARY FISHING TACKLE
- In 2021, DPIRD (WA) released preliminary findings of their year-long research proving that Sharkbanz Fishing "enables you to land more fish". (Below)
- Sharkbanz are the result of two decades worth of peer-reviewed scientific research as well as ongoing government and university field studies on the use of patented magnetic technology as an active and effective shark deterrent. To view this research, click here.
- Our Sharkbanz Fishing product (Zeppelin) is endorsed by Recfishwest (WA) as part of their shark deterrent strategies and tips for "Avoiding Shark Bite-Off". Same patented shark repellent tech is used in our wearable products (Sharkbanz 2, FCS x Sharkbanz POD) and used by military and athletes alike.
- Our technology is NOT an electric shark deterrent.
- Our technology DOES NOT attract sharks. *Our FAQ outlines more on this he-said / she-said myth.
- Sharkbanz have been approved for official race use by the organizers of the Rottnest Channel Swim and the Port to Pub swim.
"I DON'T SURF THE PLACE WITHOUT IT"
“There are some places I have been surfing that I just won't surf without my Sharkbanz. There is a place where I always surf alone, and then there is a place I foil that has murky water and people have seen a Tiger there and it freaks me out so I have been wearing it. Firstly, I don’t even notice it; really just like a leggie, but when I fall and have to swim for my board, the feeling I have at that moment is sooo good. Seriously I don’t surf the place without it anymore. Thank you guys, I love it.”

"THESE ARE A GODSEND"
"We typically use these big heavy sinkers, but the sharks will eat them on the way down and [those sinkers] rifle. We started using the Sharkbanz Fishing products, which don’t rifle, and we’ve noticed a far better recovery of the fish. We’re definitely noticing a difference. To give an example, where I might lose 16 fish to sharks and bring home 14 fish. With [Sharkbanz], we’re probably only losing 3 fish to sharks and getting our bag limits much earlier."

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Using patented magnetic technology researched and tested by marine biologists on predatory shark species, Sharkbanz take advantage of sharks’ unique and powerful electrical sense (electroreception) to cause a highly unpleasant sensation that turns sharks away.
