Product Information

Full details

The Savage Gear Floating Fish Grip is an essential tool designed for anglers who prioritize fish safety and personal protection while handling their catch. Ideal for both shore and boat fishing, this compact 16.5cm tool offers a secure, non-invasive hold on fish, making it significantly easier to remove hooks without risking injury from sharp teeth, spines, or gill plates. While its lightweight design and buoyancy are major assets, users should note that its size is specifically optimized for medium to large fish, making it less suitable for extremely tiny species.

FAQs

Is this grip safe for use on all fish species?

It is designed to be fish-friendly for most medium to large predatory species, but caution should be used with very delicate or small-mouthed fish.

Does it float if it is attached to a lanyard?

Yes, even if attached to a lanyard, the grip itself is buoyant and will float on the surface.

Can this be used in saltwater?

Yes, it is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, but ensure you rinse it with fresh water after each use.

What is the total length of the grip?

The Savage Gear Floating Fish Grip is 16.5cm in length.

Will the grip hurt the fish's mouth?

The flat grip design is specifically engineered to distribute pressure evenly and avoid causing injury to the fish's lip.

Troubleshooting

Grip mechanism feels stiff

Rinse the hinge and spring area with fresh water and apply a light coating of food-grade silicone lubricant.

Grip failing to latch securely

Ensure there is no sand or grit caught inside the jaw mechanism that is preventing a full closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The grip requires no assembly and is ready to use immediately. To maintain the mechanism, rinse the grip thoroughly with fresh water after every outing, especially if used in saltwater. Allow it to air dry fully before storing it in your tackle bag. Periodically check the spring-loaded mechanism for debris or salt buildup to ensure smooth operation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend the longevity of the handle material.
