Plastic or Steel fish grippers?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get some fish grippers and can't decide between the plastic floating ones or the steel spring ones. Anyone use one or the other and liked one of them better? I'm afraid of dropping the steel one into the lake when I'm reaching overboard to grab a fish with it. Does the plastic one hold well? Which one do you like better and why? 

Normally I just use my hands, but I've got stabbed too many times by trebles when you grab a fish by its lips with a stickbait or crankbait in its mouth and it shakes violently. I don't want to dig anymore hooks from my arms or fingers. One lesson was enough.

I have and use the smaller Rapala plastic as I also have a special knack for attracting crankbait hooks, twice for me was enuf, they work great

I have the bigger of the same. White plastic . Seems to be the real deal.

I have a pair of orange fish grips brand plastic ones.  They are great and won't let go unless you let them go.

The pair of orange "fish grips" I have are strong enough to carry up to 39lbs stripers. And we carry them at the Ozarks Extreme Outdoors shop. You should be able to gind them on kayakfishingproshop.com 

Not finding it on your website. Don't like how I have to select a category to be able to search, and then it only searches within that category. You should implement an overall search function for all your products and place it on the front page or top of the page so anybody can search for any product in any category. Normally if I spend more than a minute trying to find something I want and can't find it, I move on to another store/site. 

I found them somewhere else, but thanks anyways.
