Overview
This clamp is for securing a slippery fish while you remove the hook or lure. Its head carries three iron claws that close on the fish, and the manufacturer describes the grip as non-slip. It is handy for lure and carp anglers dealing with pike, zander, wels catfish, carp or black bass, especially when your hands are wet or cold.
How to use it: hold the fish by the lower lip or just behind the head, and never squeeze the body harder than you need to. For a fish you plan to release, wet hands and an unhooking mat are the better choice whenever possible; keep the clamp for moments when a bare-hand grip is difficult. Work quickly and close to the water.
Limits: the supplier does not state the length, the claw opening or the net weight. The clamp does not weigh the fish and is not a substitute for unhooking pliers. A two-claw version is also offered as a variant.
