Lip Grip - any new reviews?

I've searched and came up with 84 threads that have almost nothing to do with the tool-Lip Grip. A couple reviews were out there, but very old.

I've seen a number of different models out there now between the Stainless - Berkley, Rapala, Boga, etc...Throw in that some measure, some weigh, etc.... Then you also have a plastic version (floatable).

If you use one, got any comments on why you use the one you have, or why you don't use another model.

I'm spending time between LJ shores, the bays, and freshwater.

Oooooops... I thought you were talking about lippers in general not the plastic vise grip thingy...

Never seen one up close, looks like they work though.

Rigor, here is a clip regarding fish grip.

Fish Grip

I have the Berkley, cost a lot more than the Fish Grip, but not liking it too much, too hard opening the grip. Im thinking about buying the Fish Grip after seeing the clip, it look more natural way of opening the grip.

Hope this helps...

I use the plastic grip, it is very nice for the cost.

it also locks shut so that makes it VERY easy to just lock it around a seat strap so it's at hand

The plastic Lip Grips are super Super popular items with our customers.

I have been using one for a long while and they are pretty awesome, especially for 15.00. Good solid grip, light, and they float.

I like the plastic ones too because they float, are very light and spread the force on the mouth a little more. The drawbacks of them is that they require a little wider mouth opening to insert, and they are not as sturdy as the metal ones. I have had more than one fish slip through the jaws before while I was trying to weigh or pose for photos. As long as you are just using them to get the fish into the yak they are fine, but don't try to support all the weight of a large live fish by one (or if you do keep your hand wrapped around the thing tightly). It is possible that I just got a bad one though?
