Quick take
Three-claw floating grip with trigger release that secures fish without hooks or damage for weighing and releasing.
This three-claw fish gripper uses a trigger to close the claws on a fish, so you can hold it for weighing, measuring or unhooking without putting a hand near the spines. It has a black metal body with blue and red plastic grips on the handle, and it weighs about 0.18 kg. Small enough to carry in a pocket, backpack or tackle bag, it suits river, sea and ice fishing.
