Quick take

A 5.3-inch plastic fish lip gripper with staggered teeth that safely holds fish up to 44 pounds for weighing or safe handling without puncturing gills or eyes.

This compact plastic lip gripper clamps onto a fish's lip so you can hold it for weighing without a hook through the mouth. At about 5.3 inches long and 0.05 kg, it slips into a pocket or tackle bag. It also works as a clamp for a digital fish scale, which suits anglers who want a simple way to handle and weigh a catch.

Best for

Weighing fish before releasing for catch and release
Safely handling fish without puncturing delicate areas
Binding to electronic fish scales or culling tags

Skip if

You land very large saltwater species above 44 pounds; this gripper will not hold the weight
You need a grip that works in heavy rain; plastic loses grip when wet

Strengths

Non-puncture design keeps fish safer than hook placement
Staggered teeth provide secure hold even with wet, slippery hands
Lightweight and compact for tackle bags

Trade-offs

Plastic construction is not as durable as metal on rough treatment
44-pound limit is modest for large saltwater species
Cold temperatures make the plastic stiff and less grippy
