The jaws grip the lip rather than the body, keeping hands away from teeth, spines and gill plates and avoiding the gill and slime-coat damage that comes from grabbing a fish across the flank. It is stainless steel for rust resistance, light for its strength, and fitted with an ergonomic EVA handle that stays non-slip with wet hands. A wrist strap secures the tool to you — worth using, because a stainless gripper dropped over the side goes straight to the bottom. Both models carry an integrated scale reading to 25 kg with a 30 kg maximum, and the 652034 version adds a 1 m measuring tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction, rust resistant for salt and fresh water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and high strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish-friendly lip grip that minimises harm to the mouth and gills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic EVA handle — non-slip and comfortable when wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist strap keeps the tool secured and prevents it being dropped in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated scale: 25 kg range, 30 kg maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 m measuring tape on stock code 652034 only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip the lower jaw, not the body\u003c\/strong\u003e — Place the jaws centrally on the lower lip and let them close. Never clamp the upper jaw, the gill plate or across the body; a lip grip holds without pressure on the gills, the part that damages most easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever lift a large fish vertically\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hanging by the jaw puts the whole body weight on the jaw joint and spine, and on a heavy fish that can cause permanent internal damage even when it swims away. Support the belly with a wet hand and keep the fish horizontal. Vertical hangs are for small fish, briefly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeigh quickly, then support again\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take the reading in a few seconds, then go back to a two-handed horizontal hold. On big fish a weigh sling is kinder for the same number.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleasing a fish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unhook in the water where you can, keep air exposure under about thirty seconds, wet your hands first, and hold the fish upright facing the current until it kicks away on its own. Do not throw a fish back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter saltwater\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rinse, work the jaws open and closed to flush salt from the pivot, and dry before storing. Salt left in the mechanism stiffens the jaws and will eventually seize the spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species By Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Giant snakehead (toman) and barramundi (siakap): hard mouths, sharp gill plates, and increasingly release-only rules on Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian toman waters and private lakes.
