Why this gift works

A lip gripper that holds a fish securely with a weighing scale built into the handle, so a catch can be landed, weighed and released without a second tool or a hand in a mouth full of teeth. It is safer for the angler's fingers and gentler on the fish than gripping it by hand.

And it settles arguments: it puts a number on the one that did not get away. A practical, slightly fun gift for any angler who likes to keep a record.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • Anglers who weigh a fish and put it straight back
  • Anglers who like to keep a record of their catches
  • Anyone tired of arguing about how big it really was

Think twice if

  • They need certified, competition-accurate weights
  • They only fish for the table

The catch

Built-in scales on budget grippers are indicative rather than certified-accurate, and lip grippers must be used carefully - hanging a heavy fish vertically can injure it.

Skip for an angler who needs competition-accurate certified weights, or who only fishes for the table.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • The scale gives a working figure, not a certified one - competition use needs a certified scale.
  • Support the fish's body rather than hanging a heavy one vertically by the jaw.
  • Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater trips.

Why we like it

  • Lands, weighs and releases a fish with one tool
  • Safer for their fingers than a hand in a mouth full of teeth
  • Puts a number on the one that did not get away

Questions people ask

It is good for a working figure rather than competition use; for anything official, a certified scale is the tool.
