Quick take
Seven-inch fish grip with over-center locking jaw for safe handling and landing of fish.
This 7-inch orange fish grip clamps a fish by the lip with an over-center lock: squeeze to grip, flip to release. The jaw shape is made to hold the lip, which gives anglers a steady hold for unhooking and releasing. It is built from plastic with stainless steel parts and weighs about 2 ounces, so it rides easily in a tackle bag or on a lanyard. The bright orange color is easy to spot in low light.
