Kahara Japan The Fish Grip

Caution of purchasing from Amazon, as the Orange one was the real "The Fish Grip", but the glow-in-the-dark was made in China with no name on it and much less quality than The Fish Grip? It's strange that Amazon allows this type of false advertising and clearly patent infringement.

The glow in the dark color is NOT a united plastics fish grip. It is a cheap Chinese knock off. I recently ordered both the orange color and glow in the dark but the glow color was clearly labeled "made in china" and did not include any packaging. I returned it thinking there was a mistake and recieved the same exact thing in exchange.The orange color is united plastics brand and comes in the correct packaging and has the logo on the grips.

Not having any tool to use for gripping/holding fish, these were a must-have. These arrived much faster than expected and to our surprise the overall quality and ease of grip-lock was impressive. These were never used, as we could immediately see that this size Grip is to big to use on small lake fish. Returned for the Jr version. We look forward to trying these out! I chose the multi color for ease of identifying if dropped. These should float, but did not test.4 stars only due to the Lg size and not appropriate for small-mouth lake fish. Will need the Jr size for the smaller fish.

Just received the orange fish grip and was disappointed that it was not as described. As some of the other reviews stated the grip I received was NOT the grip in the photo. It does appear to be cheaply made and does not appear to actually be made by United Plastic. I will keep them to see how they work but do not expect to receive what you see in the photo.Update July 2018: I have used the fish grip a few times now and increased my rating on these as they do seem to work well. Still knocked off one star for misrepresenting the product that they were selling.

They sell on here, for less than half of what they cost locally here first of all.The design and construction is simple enough. I doubt it will break if treated with some care.I like the bright or glowing color offered for (when) I inevitably drop it from the kayak. This will make retrieving fish much easier/safer for me and the fish.

This is one of my favorite purchases for kayak fishing, I get that sounds ridiculous, but I'm an advocate for taking fish out of the water for as little time as possible and this helps hit the mark. Once they're landed, I can quickly clamp this on their lip, take my hook out, and put them right back in the water until I have the camera or stringer, or whatever else I need ready. Then I can just pull them back up with no issue.The material and built quality is excellent. I thought with it being made of plastic it would be on the cheaper side, but it seems made to last. the lanyard is great for what it is, however I fish from a kayak and therefore everything is leashed so I removed it for a longer tether line, which is also why I'm able to just put the fish back in the water while this is still clipped to their lip.

love your product, i saw the video of mark davis informing people about who made this invention and who deserves the credit and the purchase, the video was very good and i love supporting american companies, cant wait to hold many fish with this awesome product! Thank you

Only managed to use it once, damaged the fish which is most certainly NOT what I wanted. Maybe just me of course...

Perfect.

I was pleased with the delivery time. It was a Christmas present and the recipient seemed really please when he saw it.

Por desgracia aún no he tenido el placer de probarlo, pero después de tenerlo en las manos y de mucho investigar y comparar antes de comprarlo, creo que he tomado la mejor decisión.Este imprescindible artilugio recibe muchos nombres, tales como "grip", "boca grip", "agarrapeces", etcétera. Como su nombre indica, sirve para coger con seguridad (tanto para el pescador como para el pez) nuestras capturas, evitando así cogerlas con las manos desnudas o con un trapo, con el consiguiente riesgo de que se escape o nos muerda, por ejemplo. Y hay algunos peces -sobretodo si pescamos en agua salada- que pueden hacernos muchísimo daño.Dicho esto, hay muchos tipos de "agarrapeces", pero sobretodo hay dos grades clases, los que son de metal y tienen una especie de pinza que se cierra con el propio peso del pez:  Daiwa prorex Fish Lip bajos Alicate 29 cm negro pescado Pinza Y después están los de plástico, que bloqueamos con la fuerza de las manos, como éste sobre el que estoy opinando.Los primeros, los de metal, han sido los más usados durante mucho tiempo, pero tienen varios inconvenientes. El más importante es que el pez se puede soltar, ya que normalmente intentan liberarse de forma violenta haciendo giros de cabeza y coletazos y todo tipo de movimientos bruscos, y como este tipo de agarradores sujeta al pez por su propio peso, existe la posibilidad de que con algún mal movimiento se suelte. Otro inconveniente es que al ser de metal, tarde o temprano acaba oxidándose y deteriorándose, pues el agua del mar arrasa con todo. ¿Ventajas? también las hay; suelen tener una función de báscula incorporada, lo que es útil, y además giran, con lo cual el pez al pegar giros de cabeza, el agarrador girará siguiendo el movimiento del pez y así evitamos que el pez se lesione, lo cual es relevante si nuestro objetivo es captura y suelta.Y después tenemos los de plástico con forma de mordaza, que como se puede comprobar navegando por internet, son todos copias descaradas de éste, que es el original y patentado. Pues bien, éste y todos los que lo imitan tienen las siguientes ventajas: una vez apretada y bloqueada la mordaza, mientras que nuestra mano haga fuerza y como digo esté totalmente cerrada, es imposible que el pez se suelte, a no ser que se vaya dejando su mandíbula en la mordaza. Quien haya probado una mordaza entenderá por qué es imposible que se suelte. Otras dos grandísimas ventajas: es de plástico, con lo cual no se oxida, y flota, de modo que es fácil de recuperar si se nos cae al agua. Y no es baladí su vistoso color (si se cae al mar lo veremos flotando como una boya) y su ridículo peso (los de metal pesan mucho más). Es sorprendente lo poco que pesa, sin que ello afecte a su evidente robustez.En definitiva, creo que estos agarradores superan en todos los sentidos a los antiguos de metal, que si bien se siguen y se seguirán usando, han sido superados por éstos.P.D. Si decidís comprar éste agarrador, os recomiendo ver este vídeo en el que se nos explica un sencillo truco con una brida de plástico para que no se nos abra la mordaza. Si se coge cerrada no se abrirá nunca, pero con este sencillo truco ni siquiera hay que preocuparse de apretar. Es realmente ingenioso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf1H1zZtPNwEspero que os haya sido de utilidad. Daiwa prorex Fish Lip bajos Alicate 29 cm negro pescado Pinza

Ottimo prodotto, non rovina la bocca del pesce come con il boga grip, avendo la zona di presa più larga, leggero e comodo
