Korda Ulcer Swabs

Korda Ulcer Swab

Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing! Prioritizing fish welfare is the hallmark of a responsible angler, and having the right treatments on the unhooking mat is essential. The Korda Ulcer Swab is a highly effective, premium antiseptic liquid designed specifically to clean and sanitize open wounds, lifted scales, hook marks, and ulcers on any area of a fish’s body. By thoroughly treating these vulnerable areas before returning your catch to the water, you prevent harmful bacteria and freshwater fungi from infecting the tissue, giving the fish the absolute best chance at a full and rapid recovery.

Many day-ticket venues, club waters, and syndicates across the country now rightly insist that anglers carry a dedicated fish care treatment in their kit. The Korda Ulcer Swab is a vital component of that setup. Formulated to be completely safe for aquatic life while remaining highly destructive to pathogens, this liquid cleanser penetrates deep into damaged tissue to sterilize the area instantly. It is incredibly easy to apply and works flawlessly on all freshwater species, ensuring our sport’s prized specimens remain healthy for future generations of anglers to enjoy.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Pro Tip: For the absolute ultimate bankside fish care routine, the Ulcer Swab should be used as step one of a two-part treatment. First, use a clean cloth to gently dab the wound dry, then apply the Korda Ulcer Swab to sterilize the area. To lock that protection in, follow it up immediately by applying a layer of Korda Propolis over the top. The Propolis acts as a waterproof plaster, sealing the antiseptic underneath and keeping bacteria out long after the fish has swam away!
