Wednesday Review... Prologic Steri-7 Xtra
The perfect solution - Let’s give our quarry the true respect they deserve. Here’s a genuine never-go-fishing-without-it product for your tackle bag brought to you by the team at Prologic.
Fish care and personal preservation have to be right at the top of our lists, yes? Well now it couldn’t be easier thanks to the new range of products that offers both on a scale never before seen. It’s called STERI-7 XTRA, but we will refer to it as Steri, and there are three easy-to-use, highly affordable products about to hit the shops.
The Steri range is based on a unique high-level disinfectant that acts in seconds to kill 99.9999 per cent of harmful bacteria and viruses. That incredible percentage is no number pulled from the air, either. It’s the result of an intensive independent testing program that saw the line of products added to the approved DEFRA Disinfectant Listing Scheme, and it’s one of only five products approved by CEFAS on its Aquaculture listings.
The list of endorsements for Steri is mind-boggling and includes its adoption by Medicine Sans Frontiers in pre-operation disinfection, plus the attainment of 12 individual official European standards.
Meanwhile, back in our world, it has already been heavily endorsed by Simon Scott and Viv Shears of VS Fisheries, Willow Park Fisheries, and the entire Prologic fishing team, it has also been extensively tested at Sparsholt fisheries. This really is a product that isn’t just endorsed by anglers but has stood the rigours of testing both in the carp angling industry and the fish farming and aquaculture sector too. To get a real-world idea of the pure quality of this product, it’s at least 1,000 times more effective than other leading household disinfectants, yet, when used as per the manufacturer’s instructions, it’s perfectly safe for the fish, the angler, and the environment. Again, that amazing percentage is no random figure – it’s a scientifically proven fact.
As you would now expect, this STERI-7 XTRA is incredibly good at killing the things we don’t want around our fish, ourselves and our venues, and to maximise that effectiveness it can be delivered in three ways to cover all angling situations. So let’s take a look at the line-up and see what it could do for you.
STERI-7 XTRA Fish Care Spray First up is something we think could, and probably should, become standard issue among specimen anglers. It’s the STERI-7 XTRA Fish Care Spray, which comes in a 100ml pump-spray bottle. A single application of this takes just seconds to comprehensively clean hook-holds, missing scales, wounds and abrasions. One ‘pump’ applied directly to the wound disinfects on contact and creates a reactive barrier against infection. The Fish Care Spray is formulated to include a moisturiser and it’s every bit as effective on the angler as it is on the fish. Yes, really! Clean all of your nicks, cuts and scratches with this spray for maximum protection against Weil’s disease (leptospirosis), which is carried by the brown rat, plus other sources of contamination generally encountered on the bank. Priced at a mere £12.99, the STERI-7 XTRA Fish Care Spray has to be on your angling essentials short list.

STERI-7 XTRA Wipes What a, literally, handy product this is and definitely another potential compulsory purchase. The uniquely effective STERI-7 XTRA formula has been applied to a large packet of wipes and these can be used for general clean-up of your hands and equipment, as well as the cleaning, disinfecting of your plates, cutlery and cooking gear. A quick wipe over will disinfect and help prevent infection. These wipes are perfect for the front line cleaning of cuts and grazes. Peace of mind in a £7.99 pack of wipes that should last for months.

STERI-7 XTRA Personal Net Dip This time the Steri solution is applied to the very real problem of carrying infection from one fishery to another, notably KHV. Put simply, this is the only high-level disinfectant readily available that will kill the virus without putting the user in harm’s way. Simply half fill your landing net stink bag with water, add the instructed amount of STERI-7 XTRA Personal Net Dip fluid, then add the net, and within seconds it is free from all harmful pathogens and it won’t smell either.
At £19.99 for a full 500ml concentrate, we’re getting genuine biosecurity at a serious discount.
There’s also a STERI-7 XTRA Professional Net Dip for the use of fishery owners and syndicates, so if you are involved in the management of a water then this is well worth a look. Steri is already generating a considerable following from those who want the very highest biosecurity available. STERI-7 XTRA is being called “the perfect solution’ and once you’ve studied the facts and figures, it’s impossible to argue with that.
You will need your net, a stink bag and STERI-7 Xtra Personal Net Dip. Start by measuring the desired amount into the squirty nozzle.
Half fill the net bag with water and add the required level of Steri-7.
Place your net in the stink bag ensuring that it fits over the whole net.
If you can, fold the stink bag over so that the end is as sealed as possible.
Take the stink bag and shake it so the liquid covers the entire net.
