Overview

A two-pack of metal fish grippers with a three-tooth claw jaw for holding a fish's lip during hook removal, weighing or photos, sized to fit in a pocket or tackle bag.

The claw closes around the fish's lower lip rather than the body, which is meant to reduce handling stress compared to gripping with bare hands or a rag. The metal body is described as corrosion resistant, with the handle covered in colored plastic for grip. Two grippers ship per order, so a spare is on hand if one goes overboard.

  • Three-tooth claw jaw design
  • Corrosion resistant metal body
  • Plastic-covered ergonomic handle
  • Two grippers per pack

Who it's for

Useful for freshwater anglers who want a quicker, steadier way to hold a fish for hook removal or a photo before release. Less useful for anyone targeting larger saltwater species that need a heavier duty gripper.

Performance notes

The three-tooth claw locks around the fish's lip when squeezed, holding it steady for hook removal without the angler gripping the fish directly. The compact folded size is meant to fit a pocket, tackle bag or backpack, and the plastic-covered handle is intended to keep a secure hold even with wet hands.
