Soft-jaw clamps (lip-grip, fish-clamp) let you grasp a fish by the lower lip without injuring it, which has become the norm for no-kill handling of bass, pike, zander, and several saltwater species (sea bass, amberjack). Plastic or rubber soft jaws avoid the cuts that classic pliers can cause.
You will find lightweight lip-grips for medium species (up to 5 kg), reinforced fish-clamps for big fish (up to 30 kg, amberjack, big pike), models with built-in scale (weigh-measure-photograph in one tool), lanyard models (overboard-loss safety), and specialised models (for kayak fishing, for rocky shore). Lengths span 15 to 50 cm.
