About this product
The most useful fishing tool is the one you have with you. A rigid fish grip lives in a boat locker or a bag and is rarely to hand when a fish is thrashing on a deck; a folding one closes to 185 mm, fits in a pocket or a vest, and is therefore actually there.
Extended it reaches 285 mm, which is enough length to hold a fish comfortably away from you while you work a hook out. The extra reach matters more than it sounds on anything with teeth.
It is aluminium alloy, so it is strong, corrosion resistant, and light – 190 g, which is nothing on a belt. The handle is non-slip, which is the other requirement for a tool used with wet hands.
Three colours are made – green, blue and red – and there is a practical argument for the bright ones: a tool dropped in the bottom of a boat among wet gear is far easier to find if it is red.
The usual rule applies. Grip the lower jaw, support the fish body with your other hand, and keep it horizontal. Never hang a heavy fish vertically from its jaw, particularly one you intend to release.
