Questions & Answers
I believe these grippers can be used on most fish species.
The answer is yes, I think. It hasn't been used on a barracuda, but I have used it on a myan cichlid, and that fish has a relatively narrow mouth. I prefer it to the ones I bought from Bass Pro because it offers better quality.
ZACX fishing gripper can be used in saltwater without a doubt
Fish can weigh up to six pounds on average

It was actually bought for me, but then my nephew, 13 years old, used it. I have seen these before but he is an avid fisherman and has a lot of gear, but this is new to him. A couple of weeks ago, I bought him some and he is already using them.
The piece of equipment is very solid This is nothing like the other cheap products on Amazon, the only thing that is cheap is the price. I have not used other brands, but have no reason to think this is inferior. This spring, I have been catching chain pickerel, so I found I needed a product that would keep my fingers out of the mouthfuls of teeth and keep my hands off the slimy bodies. It works really well to get your fish off the hook quickly so you can get them back into the water.
It took me a little too long to get my hook line out of my mouth and I ended up gut hooking a big puffer fish. So, I was able to make off with that mofo without falling on my face.
Although I was skeptical at first, and used my hands for so long in the past, it was so easy that I now use it every time. It does not matter how long it takes me to remove the fish, they always stay healthy. A second thing I like is their size. When I tried the plastic ones, they were really bulky and large. I can hold them in my hand and they fit my fish, so it's a win-win.
I have found the metal fish jaw grip to work well, exactly If you use the small unit, it will only expand around 7/8inch max and it will only open about 1/2inch deep. Be sure you do not use it for fish that have long jaws or use it for fish that are smaller. This is not good for holding a fish to weigh it as the wrist strap is flimsy and commonly used for things like ID badge holders and Make sure you don't pull on it with more than 5 pounds or the strap may fall out. Strap made of light material.
You'll love it for those nasty catfish that stick to your line and slime it as you glide along. Take hold of the lip, remove the hook with pliers, and release the lip. The slime and infection-causing organisms are gone! On land or on a boat, this is great for small, inshore fish. Keeping these sprayed with silicone and rinsing them so they last a season is well worth it, even if they only last a year.
As expected, it looks good and works well. But I was surprised by it's small size. (Specs are clearly specified, but I did not pay attention to them. Unfortunately, I made a mistake. I have used fish grippers for years, but I didn't realize they were so.
I paid 10$ for it and used it the day after receiving I like the tool, almost certainly will break within 3 months, but that is fine with me. Every time I use this gear, I lose it. It does what it's supposed to do however, I wouldn't use it for Although the grip is decent, only one of the "hooks" on the lip really grips the fish. Meanwhile, the hook on the edge of the lip just pushes the fish against it. I am satisfied with my overall experience. The best place for freshwater fish from 1 to 2 inches Weight 15 lbs.
