Whether you are kayaking, wading the flats, or fishing from a boat, dropping your gear in the water is always a risk. The Original 7" Floating Fish Gripper solves that problem with a high-buoyancy, durable polymer construction that floats right on the surface if dropped. Designed for quick, one-handed operation, the smooth, rounded jaws securely hold the fish's lower lip without tearing tissue or damaging their protective slime coat—making it the gold standard for ethical catch-and-release fishing.
Key Features
-
100% Floating Design: Crafted from lightweight, high-impact buoyant plastic so it never sinks to the bottom if accidentally dropped overboard.
-
Fish-Friendly Jaws: Smooth, wide-surface plastic jaws grip firmly without puncturing or harming the fish's mouth, ideal for catch-and-release anglers.
-
Saltwater & Corrosion-Proof: Zero metal components mean zero rust, making it completely impervious to harsh saltwater, brackish bays, and freshwater grime.
-
One-Handed Cam-Lock Action: Simply squeeze the ergonomic handles to lock the jaws firmly onto your catch; pull the quick-release tab to let them go effortlessly.
-
Compact & Ultra-Light: At just 7 inches long, it fits easily into kayak dry boxes, tackle bags, or clips right to your belt loop or PFD.
-
Included Wrist Lanyard: Comes pre-rigged with a durable woven wrist tether and cord lock to keep the gripper secured to your wrist during intense battles.
