Questions about Piscifun Fish Lip Gripper Professional Fish Holder Stainless Steel Fish Lip Gripper 40 Pound Fish Lip Grip Tool with Scale Ruler

Is this suitable to use on flounder?

Answer: Flounder have a tiny mouth and using this would be a waste of time. You should be using a net for this fish.

Answer: No Idea! I do all fresh water fishing around the midwest and great lakes areas, though it has been good for my purposes. Bass, northern, especially catfish- it's done it's job!

Answer: yes it should be

Does it hold in salt water?

Answer: So far so good! The tape measure is rusted, but that's to be expected. This is my first fishing season with it, so I'll certainly know more next year. We wash it with fresh water after each day fishing...But it is a good lip grip for the money.

Answer: Piscifun Fish Grip can do all freshwater fishing ( rivers / lakes / wade fishing ) for bass, flounder especially for catfish. The STAINLESS STEEL tube and components won't break down in saltwater and will survive years of hard use. Rinse it with freshwater after each trip and 3 in 1 oil coat after each rinsing would help prolong its life.

Answer: Yes, has worked well

Does the head swivel?

Answer: No,the head can not swivel.

Answer: Head does not swivel.

Answer: No.

Has anyone used the camouflage one without the measuring tape, that is also the more expensive one? If so how is it working?

Answer: Yes I have the camo one and love it. The scale works perfect and I haven’t had a fish get out of the grip yet. So if you don’t need the tape measure go for it!!

Answer: Mine is black, why would you want a camo model which you couldn't find?

Answer: not me

Is there a difference, other than price? Black or General?

Answer: Yes, there are different. As Dennis said, The black one has a tape measure and a scale. The General one is just the gripper.

Answer: Black has a tape measure and and a spring weigher

Answer: The black one has a tape measure and a scale, where the General one is just the gripper

Will this rust in saltwater? I want to use for wade fishing. I don't expect it to last forever, but I would be happy with a year of rust free use.

Answer: I have no idea..but I know from experience that anything in my tackle box that is over say 8 years old has started to rust..I would definately rinse it with fresh water after each trip and maybe coat with some 3 in 1 oil after each rinsing to help prolong its life.. good luck

Answer: I rinse my saltwater gear with fresh water after every trip.Even this precaution can't keep the tape measure from rusting.The gripper is still in good shape though.

Will it weight a 2 or 3lb crappie accurately?

Answer: Yeah,the scale of this gripper stands up to 40lbs / 15kg.

Answer: I believe it weighs in half pound increments.

Does this have a weight scale on it???

Answer: Yes,it has a weight scale and the scale stands up to 15kg / 40lbs.

Answer: Yes. It's built into the handle and operates under the weight of the catch. Reads up to 15 kilograms.

Answer: Hello, the one I ordered and received did not have a scale. If you are looking for something to grab those fish without getting a tooth in your finger, these are perfect.

Answer: Yes. It also has a tape measure that rusts and falls apart in less than a few months.

Answer: Yes. It can be a little difficult to read to low light, though.

How do you tell ho much it weights ?

Answer: There is a scale inside the unit itself. Once you have the fish clipped in the mouth, simple lift it up and you will be able to see the scale.

Answer: Scale stands up to 15kg / 40lbs.

How well or accurate is the scale when it comes to smaller fish? I can imagine this scale being custom to fish at least 10 pounds and over.

Answer: The scale is not accurate, but the grip is great.

Answer: It's pretty good for anything over about a pound. There are no markings between the pound markings so you gotta guesstimate oz.

Answer: It is not good. Better for larger fish.

Answer: Works great for any size fish excellent product.

Answer: Sorry I can't answer your question. I purchased the model that doesn't have a scale.

does the scale read in pounds

Answer: Yes,it reads in pounds and kilogram.

Answer: Yes it does read in pounds, although it is hard to read.

Answer: It does. It has tic marks in both Kg and lbs.

Answer: Tes

Answer: Yes it does

Answer: Yes

How many pounds can it hold

Answer: Don't know up to how many lbs it will hold but it has Has worked good to date. Handled a 28 1/2 inch Gag Grouper this week with no issues

Answer: the scale can hold up to 40lbs fish

Answer: I have not maxed it but I know will hold up to at least 18 pounds

Answer: So far it has hold 8 pounds with out a problem. My husband loves it

is the scale digital

Answer: The scale is not a digital one but on the holder body.

Answer: The scale is not digital. The weight of the fish pulls down the measuring tape, like a tape measure.

Answer: There is one with a digital scale and it will say it in the heading.

Answer: no,but has a scale inscribed in the steel when you have weight on it or pull on it just to see it.its great for grabbing catfish, i like mine, use it all the time.

Answer: No, #'s are written on the handle. The more the fish weighs the more it'll pull it down and reveal the higher number (being the weight).

Answer: No, not on this one. It is a metal pull out one attached to the lip grabber. It's rusts, but that's to be expected with use in salt water.

Answer: No it is not*

Answer: No. It isn't

Answer: No

What is the length of the actual lipper? I'm hoping to find something to fit in a 7" pocket.. thanks.

Answer: The total length of this fish gripper is about 24cm/9.45inch. Hope it helps! Please feel free to contact us if you have any other issues. We will always be here if you need us. Thank you so much.

Is there 2 units of measurement on the scale so that weight can be read in both pounds and kilograms?

Answer: Yes,you can read it in both pounds and kilograms.

Answer: has both, Standard and metric

Answer: Yes

Does this scale read ounces too? For example 15lb 4oz, could you see the 4 oz?

Answer: No, the scale has no increments except pounds. I bought it for the ability to hold a fish and measure it's length without causing damage for slot limit fish. weight is not a issue.

Answer: No, you only can see lb or kg. We can take it into consideration when we improve it in the future. Please don't hesitate to contact Piscifun Customer Support if you have any issues. We will always be here if you need us.

Answer: Yes, if you have excellent vision and a steady hand. The larger issue with this product is, the tape rusts and the painted-on numbers fall off

Does the knob/dial at the end of the end of the handle have a purpose since it rotates?

Answer: It doesn't rotate. Please choose Camouflage Fish Gripper if you need a gripper with rotate handle. Hope it helps! Please feel free to contact us if you have any issues and we are happy to assist you.

Answer: It does not rotate. It contains the tape measure.

Answer: The knob just hold spring in for the weight scale

Answer: I noticed that too, but to me I don’t know why that rotates. Other the that I love to gripper.

Answer: I don't think it does... the tool is really just for lipping and weighing fish... the tape measure only works like twice before it rusts and the paint flakes off. It's a great gripper and scale though especially for the price.

Answer: Probably has to do with the scale. I bought the model with out the scale. Sorry I couldn't help you!

Why does it say in the description that piscifun didn't authorize Amazon to sell there products? And how would i know if it's a fake?

Answer: I don’t know. The product is good though. If I bought a fake fish grip that’s a little different than buying a fake Rolex

Answer: I believe it said they did not authorize “other sellers” to sell it on Amazon and to make sure it came from piscifun.

how hard is it to read (the scale) for fish 10 lbs and less. thank you

Answer: the scale reads for 40lb / 15KG and less

Answer: its difficult I am putting some white paint in the grooves but they are not etched in too deep. I sould of got one from Bass pro shops..

Product reviews of Piscifun Fish Lip Gripper Professional Fish Holder Stainless Steel Fish Lip Gripper 40 Pound Fish Lip Grip Tool with Scale Ruler

BigWillyTX : Awesome product for the price!!

Great gripper for the price. Have used this in salt water exclusively 7 times and it has held up very well. I did oil the tape measure to prevent rusting as reported by other users and that has not been an issue. Would definitely buy again.

Michael N : Nicely designed!

I have not used it yet but it looks to be well designed with both weight and measurement ability. I catch and release and the Fish Gripper should allow me to measure and weight so that I can get the fish back into the water. I expect to use it 10/29/18 many times for stripers. 4 stars just because I have not used it yet.

Viktor Kravchenko : This is my second time I bought.

First one I lost.
This is second time I bought.
I like it.

Caleb M. : Save your fingers

These have saved my fingers many times.
If you fish Northerns or Muskies these are a must. They do a great job holding the fish in place while you unhook and/or measure it.

I'm not sure of the science or pain or whatever is behind these but they do seem to keep the fish from thrashing around the boat hurting itself, or you which is a nice bonus. They seem fairly calm once you have these clipped on. I'm sure that big 55" Muskie that's waiting for me someday will prove this theory wrong. So far this has held up well for the few smaller ones I've caught.

I'm not a huge fan of the scale in the handle. If you're keeping the fish its probably fine. I wouldn't hold up a bigger fish by the jaw like this though. Not if you're planning on putting it back.

I'd also advise against using them in a softer mouthed fish like a walleye. I made that mistake once and these pushed right through. On a northern pike and a muskie or two, they've been life savers.

I don't think they float so I always, always use the wrist strap because I don't like buying things twice hahaha.

As for the action on thse, they open pretty easily and smoothly. They seem to be well built and feel like they're going to last.

DRB : not up to the quality I was expecting

The gripper doesn't move smoothly or very easy, I had to oil and grease the firs one with some silicone real grease to get it to even close properly, and still grinds a little.
the scale is very difficult to see, and I wasn't expecting much to begin with, just thought it might be a nice extra. I've used two other brands in the past, one from Bass Pro, without the tape or scale, but moves much nicer with no fear of loosing a fish. I bought two of these and haven't actually tried them in the boat yet so I'll reserve final judgement, hope it works out!

john frank thomas : Good product

The product arrived on time as described. It has a tape measure on it I did not know about. That is a great feature.

Joe : Awesome, but tape measure starting to rust :(

Super AWESOME! The reason I marked it down is after only 4-5 uses the tape measure (which is what makes me LOVE this thing so much!) is starting to rust and is getting harder to pull out. I now have to push it back in rather than it retracting itself. Still amazingly fast and easy to measure a catch!

don quijote : It wont last. Mine stopped gripping and started staying ...

It wont last. Mine stopped gripping and started staying open on its own in a few months and probably about 6 fish. Almost lost a 30lbs striper because of this thing. Dont trust it.

Wayne F. Rolwes : Works good for price

Works good for price

Stephen M. Boyce : Weights are pretty accurate using some household items

Appears solid. Have yet to use it on a fish. Weights are pretty accurate using some household items. Will update once I get to use it "in the field".

Honest Adventurer : Good pair of grippers

I do alot of walleye fishing on lake Erie. I've been putting thing to the test ! It's saved my hands from the usually gill plate slice or tooth snag. Even with some smaller fish it just makes handling so much easier to have a good grip without worrying about getting a nasty slice. Plus some of the fish like big sucker carp or buffalo that you don't want to touch period. I like to avoid the slime and smell when possible. We set the net on the edge of the boat. Grab the fish with these ,use some pliers if needed to remove the hook and toss it right back. They seem well built with a solid grip.
The only downside and for me personally it doesn't matter because I bout them for gripping period. The scale at least on mine is not accurate. Anything under 6 lbs all shows about 2 lbs. And the tape measure rusts. Still rolls out and retracts but it's already pretty rusted up.
If you're mainly buying them for grippers you will be happy !

hombre243 : Grips but does not harm the fish

Perfect. My hands aren't as strong as they used to be. Seems like I need a tool for just about everything these days.

Jeffrey F. : Not suitable for Bass/Incorrect weight

Definitely not accurate. I caught a 7lb bass, used this first and it told me the bass was around 2lbs. Used a digital scale when that was incorrect and got the actual weight. May be better on larger species, but not suitable for weighing bass. The tape measure is handy though.

Darrel : Only good to hold fish

scale is accurate, but doesn’t retract very well. Scale is hard to read, did not work very well. Worked a little better after spraying lots of wd40 on it. Would not purchase again

Gerald R. : Good graber

Good as a fish grabber, scale not so accuate

LJ : Two Stars

Good quality lip gripper but the weight scale is extremely hard to read

Steven M. Johnson : Not useful for weight

The markings on the base are just lightly scratched into the metal, and are impossible to read. The marks are every 1 pound, so your guess is about as good as this scale.

Kokopelli fan : Get one for conservation!

Put it right to work, does exactly as advertised. Easy to use, makes releases better for the fish with no handling: worth the purchase for conservation alone.

Cecile Boehlert : Secure fish lip gripper

This is a good product and very fairly priced. It will help prevent bass thumb.

Carole Ridley : Junk

Weighed a 10lb dumbbell and it registered 12-14 lbs each of 3 times doing it. It seems to just have a tension spring in it giving the illusion of measuring weight. Made in China. Returned it.

John : Lip grip,ruler and scales perfect

Works great and fast shipping

Steven M. Johnson : Not useful for weight

The markings on the base are just lightly scratched into the metal, and are impossible to read. The marks are every 1 pound, so your guess is about as good as this scale.

Ace : Great tool, every fisher needs one.

What a nice tool. It really has everything you need for recording your fishing catches. You can quickly grab the fish out of the water without hurting it, weigh it, and measure its length. It is not extremely large and easily fits into the tackle box.

Wade : None the less it is a very handy tool because you never know when you need to weigh your next personal best!

The bigger the fish the more this gripper will hold. The weight lines are actually per pound, not half pound as advertised. None the less it is a very handy tool because you never know when you need to weigh your next personal best!

Jason Zambrana : It's still good

It's easy to use,the only thing I don't like is the ruler is already rusty after one day of use in the rain which i pulled out once from my bag to use

michael bokovoy : It helps in holding the fish so that you can remove the hook with ease and also it is better for the fish

Very well made! My grandson loves it! It helps in holding the fish so that you can remove the hook with ease and also it is better for the fish! My grandson loves to catch bass and it helps him alot as we fish catch and release alot! The only thing that is hard with the product is it's weight reading hard to see and not that accurate maybe you need digital readout!! Besides that is a very well built fishing tool!! Very good price!!!

Sonnie : Good Lip Gripper

The tape measure that comes with it starts to peel off and starts to rust on the edge after two days of using it. They should just use a nylon type tape measure instead of metal. Overall it is OK to use and the fisherman around me are very impress on the features. Weigh scale, tape measure and lip gripper all in one.

k.s : Best Fish Scale/Tape Measure Around

This is exactly what my son needed for his tackle box! He loves the design of the scale/tape measure because it won’t hurt the fish. Excellent seller and customer service! Thank you for your personal touch!

Thomas Mohr : Pretty good

Not bad for $19 but the scale is barely seen I think I will rub some white paint in the grooves...Tape measure is okay sticks a little, gripper is good strong ,nice spring and handle is ok, strap not bad either, for the price its worth it, I dont use them much so I didnt want to buy a $100 one.

Darrel : Only good to hold fish

scale is accurate, but doesn’t retract very well. Scale is hard to read, did not work very well. Worked a little better after spraying lots of wd40 on it. Would not purchase again

Caleb M. : Save your fingers

JOHN ROACH : Works as advertised

Works great on my fishing kayak.

Ted R. : Well made inexpensive device.

Price is right, no batteries to worry about, measures heavy fish well. Not recommended for smaller fish under 5 #. Bottom of handle sets spring for accuracy. Used dumbell plates to check various weights. Perfect for the weekend or professional angler!????

DRB : not up to the quality I was expecting

Justin Gamerdinger : Durable!!

Just took this lip gripper out of the box and the first thing I noticed was how well made this product is! The scale works flawlessly without needing to have batteries! I really like the handle as it fits my hand perfectly!

Darrel : Only good to hold fish

scale is accurate, but doesn’t retract very well. Scale is hard to read, did not work very well. Worked a little better after spraying lots of wd40 on it. Would not purchase again

Ted R. : Well made inexpensive device.

Westernbound1000 : Good product

Good in salt

P&P B. : Fish Grabber

Awesome! Highly recommend.

Michael N : Nicely designed!

P&P B. : Fish Grabber

Awesome! Highly recommend.

Tommy Cao : Reliable grip and tape measure was a plus! Just remember to constantly keep it try after use. Tape measure might rust

Can't complain. Great fish gripper and is still going strong. I will update if anything changes

Corey Dixon : Strong gripper

This was a great addition to my kayak since I hate using nets from it. First day I brought it with me I caught a decent Largemouth, and it was so much easier to grab the Lip Gripper that was hanging from my fishing vest. It had a very good grip on the fish, and I was able to unhook it very easily. Releasing the fish was just as easy. The tape measure is dead on from the end of the metal hook part. It is a little hard to see the scale, both when cloudy and sunny. I haven't tested the scale against another scale so I can't comment on that part. Overall it was a great purchase.

keith : Item is perfect for larger game fish

Item is perfect for larger game fish.
Tape measure could be longer. Only goes to 38".
Comfortable grip easy mechanism.
Scale is harder to see on the shaft.

Ed T. : Works Great!

Used the Lip Grabber for the first time on trip to the 1000 Islands portion of the St. Lawrence River. Gripper easily handled 4 pound bass and 6/7 pound northern pike. The features such as one handed operation and attached lanyard to prevent dropping gripper into water worked great. I have been fishing for many, many years and cannot believe I have not purchased a product like this before.

Matthew : Great scale!

Very cool tool for fishing! Works great and dig the multi features. Would definitely recommend.

Cesar Diaz : The ruler rusts and breaks just after a few uses

Don't buy the gripper with the ruler. I bought the Piscifun Fish Lip Gripper with the scale and ruler. The first time I used it I thought it was great. I specially liked having the ruler because it allows you to determine very quickly if the fish you caught meets the legal size without having to put it on the ground and causing further distress to the fish. However, on the second use I noticed that the ruler was rusting and chipping off. By the fourth use the ruler was completely rusted and would not retract so I had to pull it off. Hopefully, Piscifun will correct this critical design flaw, but until then they should pull the model with the ruler off the market. Great idea to put a ruler on the gripper but poor design. In all fairness, the rest of the apparatus (i.e., the gripping function) works well and is not rusting.

Bryan D. : Works Great!

Very helpful when removing lure form Northern Pike

H Corrales : Great gripper! Worth every penny..

Good quality. You get a measuring tape. My go to gripper. Highly recommend this..

Ace : Grip and lock seems to be great!

I haven't used it but I wil be this coming weekend. I've always personally wanted one but I know how to handle fish. I purchased this with NO hassle from the seller and it arrived fast, just in time for our family's fishing trip to the coast where it'll be extremely handy especially for my parents and nephew and niece, not to mention bragging rights on the biggest fish!!!
