DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION The Series 150 Releasing and Circulating Overshot is the strongest tool available to externally engage, pack-off, and pull a fish. The basic simplicity and rugged construction with which it is designed have made it the standard of all external catch fishing tools. The Series 150 Releasing and Circulat- ing Overshot is composed of three outside parts: top sub, bowl, and guide. The Basic Overshot may be dressed with either of two sets of internal parts depending on whether the fish to be caught is near maximum size for the particular overshot.
Some special conditions apply. If the fish diameter is near the maximum catch of the Overshot, a Spiral Grapple, Spiral Grap- ple Control, and Type “A” Packer are used. If the fish diameter is considerably below maximum catch size (usually 1/2”), a Basket Grapple and a Basket Grapple Mill Control Packer are used.
