Lip Grip - any new reviews? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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?
