Quick take
A three-claw fish gripper that opens and closes with one-handed operation to secure fish for handling, weighing, or photographing.
This is a three-claw fish gripper with a metal and ABS build, meant for holding a fish by the mouth while you unhook, weigh or photograph it. It folds to about 4.3 inches, so it slips into a tackle box, pack or pocket. Squeeze the handle to open the claws and release to clamp, which keeps one hand free. A fit for freshwater and saltwater anglers who release fish like bass, trout and catfish.
Best for
- Quick fish handling without puncturing gills or scales

Skip if
- You need a gaff for large saltwater fish

Strengths
- Three-claw design distributes pressure to minimize injury
