Overview
This is a 4.5 inch fish lip gripper sold in a pack of two, built as a non-puncture clamp that attaches to a fish's lip for handling, weighing, or culling in tournament bass fishing.
The gripper is meant to work as an accessory rather than a standalone tool: it clamps onto a fish's lip and can also connect to a digital scale or a fishing cull tag system, per the listing. Because it comes as a pack of two, it suits anglers running a multi-fish culling setup rather than someone who just needs one grip-and-release tool.
- 4.5 inch non-puncture clamp
- Sold in a pack of two
- Compatible with digital scales and cull tags
- Built for tournament bass fishing use
Who it's for
Tournament and bass anglers using a cull tag or culling system, or anyone who wants a non-puncture way to hold and weigh fish, are the intended users. Anglers who only need an occasional single hook-removal tool may not need a pack of two clamps.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Non-puncture design for handling fish
- Sold as a pack of two for multi-fish setups
- Compatible with digital scales and cull tag systems
- Function depends on pairing with a scale or cull system rather than standalone use
Performance notes
The clamp is designed to grip a fish's lip without puncturing it, which matters for catch-and-release or culling setups where fish need to stay healthy while held. It is built to attach to a digital scale or a cull tag line, so its usefulness depends on pairing it with that other equipment rather than working as a standalone tool.
