| The Gotco Series 70 Short-Catch Overshot is an external catch fishing tool designed to retrieve tubular members from the well bore when the top of the fish is too short to be engaged with a standard overshot. Designed with the grapple positioned at the extreme lower end of the tool, this overshot can engage a fish with a very short top end. |
Construction |
| The assembly consists of a top sub, bowl, basket grapple, and basket grapple control. These components function in the same manner as those in the standard Gotco Series 150 Releasing and Circulating Overshot. |
Assembly and Operation |

Engagement & Retrieval of Fish - Attach the overshot to the bottom of the fishing string and run into hole. When the overshot nears the top of the fish, gradually lower the fishing string while slowly maintaining the right-hand rotation. When the fish is engaged, |
Release of Fish - Bump down on the overshot. Then rotate the fishing string to the right while picking up slowly. |
