    Thresher Shark Overview

    Threshers are generally pelagic and rarely come close to shore. Threshers are easily recognized as their upper tail lobe is usually as long as the rest of the body. The teeth are small and pointed. The Thresher Shark is usually solitary but can be found hunting in pairs. Typically they will slap the water with their tails while feeding. They are active fighters and when hooked will often leap entirely out of the water. Thresher Sharks give live birth to their young. Info provided by the International Game Fish Association.

Custom Fish Mount - FAQ

What is a Release Mount?

A Release Mount is a mount of your trophy fish produced without any of the actual fish parts. Almost all saltwater mounts are Release Mounts, which are constructed of lightweight composite materials and are cast from pre-existing molds. These mold impressions were originally taken from carefully selected fish. Your authentic mount is hand-painted and one-of-a-kind.

How long will my mount take to create?

Normal lead time is 90 days or less. Expedite Production Service is available on most mounts, reducing the time to under 30 days. Each step requires precision workmanship and must pass final inspection before progressing to the next stage, so timelines are estimates. We prioritize quality over speed. Rest assured, we never compromise on the quality of your custom mount.

How are mounts attached to the wall?

It hangs like a picture. A sturdy hanger comes balanced and installed in each mount. All that is required is a screw or nail to be inserted into the wall. Our lightweight mounts are produced using hollow-cast fiberglass. For outdoor locations, we offer a 2-piece stainless steel hanging bracket system that is extra strong and burgular-resistant.

Are real fish still being used?

No. The marine taxidermy industry produces 99% of all mounts using composite materials. The change from โ€œSkinโ€ to โ€œComposite Mountsโ€ occurred in the 70โ€™s and 80โ€™s, and has not been well publicized. After measurements and photographs are taken, release your fish alive and order a โ€œRelease Mountโ€!
