Quick take

A stainless steel and aluminum fish gripper with wide-opening jaw for handling freshwater and saltwater species.

This fish lip gripper pairs a die-cast aluminum body with a jaw that opens 2.4 inches wide, so one hand can hold a caught fish by the lip while the other works the hook free. It weighs about 0.3 pounds and ships with a steel-wire PVC lanyard, a metal hiking buckle and a glow-in-the-dark module for finding it after dark. Anglers who are tired of slippery towels and gloves will find it a straightforward way to handle freshwater or saltwater catches.

Best for

  • Handling large bass and catfish
  • Saltwater fishing where corrosion resistance matters
  • Night fishing with the glow-in-the-dark feature

Skip if

  • You prefer lighter-weight grippers
  • You need maximum portability

Strengths

  • Stainless steel jaw resists saltwater corrosion
  • Wide 2.4-inch jaw opening suits larger fish mouths
  • Glow-in-the-dark module aids low-light use

Trade-offs

  • Heavier than plastic grippers
  • One-finger release requires hand strength
  • Jaw edges may bend slightly with extreme pressure
