10.5-inch Fishing Lip Gripper — Lightweight Nylon & Fiberglass Fish Grabber
Product description
Construction and size: This lip gripper measures 10.5 inches overall and is built from molded nylon reinforced with fiberglass. The materials provide a balance of toughness and low weight so the tool is easy to carry and handle throughout a day of fishing.
Jaw and capacity: The device uses a contoured jaw designed to cradle the fish's mouth without excessive crushing. When engaged it locks securely and is rated to hold fish up to 44 pounds, giving anglers confidence when removing hooks or preparing for release.
Operation and release: A smooth, single-handed release system lets you open the jaw quickly without having to set the fish down. The mechanism is designed for repeatable, reliable action so releasing and re-securing the grip is fast and simple.
Versatility: Suitable for use on bass, catfish, and other common freshwater species and acceptable for saltwater use when rinsed after exposure. It performs well from shore, small boats, and kayaks where one-handed control and compact tools are preferred.
Accessories and handling: The gripper includes a durable lanyard so it can be attached to a vest, belt, or boat rail for quick access. The handle has a textured, non-slip surface to maintain control when wet or when managing an active fish.
