Overview
Pawfly's fish gripper set pairs a 2 claw and 3 claw metal clamp with ABS handles, letting you lift, weigh or photograph a catch without bare-hand contact with slime, fins or teeth.
Buyers like having two claw styles in one purchase, since the smaller unit suits panfish while the larger claw handles bigger catches like catfish. Quality is mostly solid, but it isn't spotless: one buyer's 3 claw gripper cracked and detached in their hand, which is worth weighing against the otherwise positive feedback.
- Two pack: 2 claw and 3 claw versions
- Metal claws with ABS plastic handles
- Non-slip grip built for wet hands
- Compact enough for tackle box storage
Who it's for
Good for anglers and families who want to keep hands off slime and fins when unhooking or photographing a catch, including kids who are squeamish about touching fish. Less ideal for anyone needing one gripper they can rely on without question every trip, given the reported crack.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most buyers like that the grippers keep slime and sharp fins off their hands and appreciate having two sizes for different catches, including catfish, though one reviewer wanted a longer handle and another had a 3 claw unit crack and fall apart.
