Entsport Fish Lip Gripper Fish Scales Professional Fish Holder Stainless Steel Fish Lip Grabber 40 Pound Fish Lip Grip Tool with Weight Scale

This is an EXCELLENT value in fish grippers. Why anyone would pay $125 for the competitors product is mind numbing. As a service connected veteran, I make EVERY effort to buy American when possible, but I WILL NOT throw good money away. The fit and finish of the Entsport gripper is excellent, the mechanical design is strong, made of quality materials and works fantastic... Gripping a fishes mouth is not rocket science, it does not require spending 3 digits. I've used the my friends Boga grip and after buying this, I need to do a side x side review to illustrate the blatant lack of sense and judgement you'd have display to justify spending an additional $110 for a tool who's only advantage is mechanical rotation in hand. I CAN NOT be clearer here... It really goes to show the dumbing down of the American consumer, the effects of marketing, and a wage gap where people apparently have more money than sense. It is simply baffling how anyone could justify such a ridiculous waste of money.

Even irrespective of it's comparatively low price, this product is AWESOME. As someone for whom fishing is part of my livelihood, I feel that I must give this little gripper 5 stars. I took my first real surf-fishing trip in November of 2017 and used this grip, completely submerging in seawater on multiple occasions. I placed in a bag other than my fishing bag and only just found it and cleaned it today. After rinsing the sand off of it, I failed to find any signs of rust externally, and all the mechanisms still functioned well, although with a bit of grinding yet from some sand. A bit of oil to the gripper joints and to the scale shaft and she's ready for another season. Seriously, this thing is an Amazon Choice for a reason. Excellent feel, no buyers remorse, just be ready for the e-mails about leaving a review. I got a few when I first bought it 6 months ago and another one just a few minutes ago. Weird that they really want to get the follow-up, but nice that they probably realized I want to see how it holds up over a proper period before leaving a review. After using (and pretty severely abusing) this product, I can recommend this tool without any reservation. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. This is one of those rare instances where it's not.

If you've owned the expensive popular competitor and lost it overboard more than once, this product is for you. No one truly knows the difference, and they think it's a boga grip. It does exactly what its suppose to do... lip a fish and weigh it if you are into that. They do seem to be a little lighter which is great for the little kids holding their catch. I bought 3 if these as the last similar items I bought were lost overboard by guests and certain family members. These will last for sure as they are well built. You won't be disappointed. Try them out.

This thing is GREAT! Revolutionized fishing for me. I no longer have to touch the fish - at all! No fishy smell on my fingers, no harming the fish by removing its' protective slime barrier by getting it on my hands. I've used this for well over 100 fish already and not a single one got off or got injured. Smooth release when you're ready. Gets weight and length in moments without keeping the fish out of the water longer than necessary. Smooth action too.

This is a really great tool that makes catch and release very efficient. It's so easy now to catch a decent size fish, grip him, remove the hook, get a quick measurement with the tape, maybe snap a quick fish-selfie, and get the fish back in the water very quickly without a hassle. It's especially effective with largemouth bass that are often times very lively and flapping around.I've used it several times and it works perfectly. The tape measure really does make measuring fish length quick and simple, and brings some truth to my fish stories instead of just using rough estimates.The scale is decent, but lacks fine measurement points so expect only to get an approximation. This is now a tool I bring with me on every fishing trip. It's nice to know I can get a hold of just about anything I pull out of the water and get a good length measurement with ease.

I took this out fishing in the ocean a couple weeks ago. It worked quite well- I caught a ling cod which had some nasty, sharp teeth. No way could I have un-hooked the fish without some sort of gripper device to hold the flopping fish. Unfortunately, the ling was too small and went back into the sea, but the gripper made it back home. No visible rust, so it seems like quality stainless steel was used.

I've used this gripper on at least 60 fish caught from my kayak in salt water. It has worked flawlessly and is easy to use one handed. Seems to be easy on fish and is less hassle to deal with than a net in the limited space on the kayak.I give it a good rinse with fresh water after every trip and store it inside. No sign of rust or corrosion.A no brainer at this money.

I bought this at the same time I bought the AdiyZ Fish Lip Grabber and the Entsport was the clear winner. You can easily operate in with one hand and we never missed landing a pike. Two of us were fishing for trophy pike in Canada and the Entsport was the clear winner. I am going to buy another. A very good value for the price. You can pay more but you don't need to.
