Quick take
One-handed plastic fish gripper with quick release mechanism and wrist lanyard for safely handling and landing fish without injury.
This 6-inch Rapala floating gripper lets you hold a fish with one hand while you unhook it and lift it for a quick photo or weigh-in. A quick-release mechanism lets go when you are done, and the molded plastic body resists corrosion around salt and fresh water alike. A wrist lanyard keeps it attached to you, and at about 0.02 kilograms it is light enough to stay clipped to a vest or tackle bag.
