Control Catfish for Unhooking, Measuring, and Release

Handling a slippery, hard-fighting fish gets easier when you can control it at the mouth instead of wrestling with the entire fish. The Catfish Pro Tournament Series Lip Grips provide a secure one-handed hold for managing catfish and other game fish while unhooking, measuring, photographing, or preparing the catch for release.

More Control When the Fish Comes to Hand

• ✅ One-handed operation helps you maintain control of the fish while keeping your other hand available for removing hooks or managing tackle
• ✅ Quick-release mechanism makes it easy to let go of the fish when you're ready to return it to the water
• ✅ 70% nylon and 30% fiberglass construction provides a heavy-duty fish-handling tool without the bulk of a large metal gripper
• ✅ Corrosion-resistant construction supports use during both freshwater and saltwater fishing
• ✅ Non-slip ergonomic handle gives you a more secure grip when your hands and gear are wet
• ✅ Adjustable wrist lanyard adds security when handling a fish beside the boat, kayak, bank, or dock
• ✅ Compact 9.5-inch length makes the gripper easy to keep accessible in a tackle box or with your fish-handling gear

Real-World Performance

Keep the lip grips where you can reach them before the fish comes aboard or to the bank. Once the fish is under control at the mouth, one-handed operation leaves your free hand available for hook removal and other fish-handling tasks. On a kayak or boat, the wrist lanyard is especially useful when working close to the water where a dropped tool can disappear quickly.

Give Your Fish-Handling Kit a Dedicated Grip

Keep these lip grips with your pliers and other landing tools so you have a compact way to control catfish when it's time to unhook, measure, photograph, or release the catch.
