Highlights

Keep your hands out of the mouth

Barracuda, kingfish, grouper - all of them have something in their mouth or on their gill plate that will open your hand. A lip grip puts a tool there instead.

Locking jaw

Grips the lower jaw and locks, so the fish is held securely rather than being wrestled.

Stainless steel

The right material for a tool that spends its life wet and in salt.

Ergonomic handle

A grip you can hold firmly with a wet hand and a fish trying to leave.

Compact and light

Small enough to live on a belt or in a boat locker, not just at home.

Product description

About this product

Noeby Fishing Gripper Multifunctional – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

There is a moment on every fishing trip where you have to get hold of the fish, and it is the moment most injuries happen. Barracuda have teeth; kingfish and trevally have razor-edged scutes near the tail; grouper and snapper have gill plates that cut like a blade and spines that go straight through a hand. A lip grip puts a stainless steel tool in the fish mouth instead of your fingers.

It works by clamping the lower jaw, which is bone and connective tissue rather than anything delicate, and locking there. The fish is then held securely for unhooking, weighing or a photograph, without either of you getting hurt.

The construction is stainless steel, which is the only sensible material for a tool that lives wet and in salt, and the handle is shaped to be held firmly with a wet hand.

One rule matters: support the fish. Take its weight with your other hand under the body and keep it horizontal. Hanging a heavy fish vertically from its jaw can damage the jaw joint and the spine, and if you intend to release it, that is exactly what you do not want. For a fish going back, the shorter the time out of the water the better – have the camera ready before you lift it.

Questions

Good to know

Does a lip grip hurt the fish?

Used properly, less than a hand in the gills does. The rule is to support the fish body with your other hand and keep it horizontal - never hang a large fish vertically from its jaw, which can damage the jaw and the spine. For a fish you intend to release, less time out of the water matters more than anything else.

What can I use it on?

Any fish with a firm lower jaw - queenfish, kingfish, trevally, barracuda, snapper, grouper, Nile perch, tigerfish. It is particularly valuable on toothy or spiny fish, which are the ones you least want to hold by hand.

Will it work on very big fish?

It will grip them, but a lip grip is not a lifting tool for a very heavy fish. Support the body, keep the fish horizontal, and for anything really large, leave it in the water alongside the boat and unhook it there.

Does it have a scale built in?

Not on this model. If you want to weigh fish, we stock grippers with integrated scales - ask us.

Is stainless steel really necessary?

For a tool that lives wet in salt water, yes. A plated carbon steel gripper will corrode at the jaws and the pivot within a season here, and a seized gripper is useless exactly when you need it.

How do I use it properly?

Approach from the front, clamp the lower jaw, and let the lock engage. Then put your other hand under the body and take the weight. Never lift a heavy fish by the jaw alone.

Should I use it instead of a net?

They do different jobs. A net brings the fish out of the water; a grip holds it while you work. On a boat with a high side, use both - net it aboard, then grip it for unhooking.

How do I look after it?

Rinse in fresh water after every sea trip and dry it. Work the jaws and the trigger a few times while rinsing so water gets into the mechanism, and put a drop of light oil on the pivot. Salt in the mechanism is what seizes these tools.
