Smith’s Regal River 9in Floating Fish Gripper
A lip-gripping tool designed to safely land and handle fish without exposing hands to hooks or teeth. The device clamps securely onto the lower jaw using a locking mechanism, holding the fish steady during unhooking, photographing, or weighing. A quick-release trigger allows for clean and safe release after use.
Constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant plastic, it performs reliably in both fresh and salt water without rusting or seizing. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip during extended use on shore or while afloat.
Measuring nine inches, the gripper is lightweight and easy to carry. It floats if dropped overboard and includes a wrist lanyard to keep it within reach.
