Lip Gripper

What Lip Gripper do you recommend

The one from Hook1 is pretty sweet and its like 12 or $15.

The plastc hook 1 gripper is cool, but I still find myself using the regular bogas, I like the positive lock you get with the bogas, grip the lip and hold the handle. I've had the hook one vice grip style open up on me before.  But they are plastic and don't rust.  Tiny remind me to tell you a good plumbing story next time I see you   

Dude the one I bought last fall at pacific outdoors for that Trinadad Tourny it's bullet proof...dont know why I haven't used one before...sweet........plastic and when You clamp down it aint goin no where!!!  and no more pricks from fishies......   it's up on my camper or I'd tell ya which one it is...

I love the lip gripper too. Hook1 or ACK. Just don't let em swim off with them still attached.

The plastic ones are ok for fish that don't have much torque. I tried one on a steelie and it came unbuttoned when the fish did a twisting flop. A hot ling would probably do the same.
The metal jawed grippers flex less.

Ditto.  I've had big lings gator roll their way out of the plastic grippers.

   if you watch your vid closely...you will see you did "not" have that gripper gripped in the most ideal location....   grabbed my ph and was going to call ya tad but the # i have didn't work   It was a freaking AWESOME oh Shit moment.......... Classic...

I would have to recommend the plastic hook1 grips overall....though i do like the other metal ones for some applications.....like gripping and weighing big fish or proping stubborn mouths open  They also make the hook1 grips in pink just for you tiny

I have had The Lipper 26 for about 5 years no issues, I like it cause when a fish gator rolls on you the jaws rotate.

Oh damn!

On the plastic lip grippers, remove the coiled bungee tether from the handle.  Drill a 3/16" hole in the non moving handle.
Stretch a 2' length of 1/4" bungee through and tie a solid set of knots on the other side so it can't come out. 
Tie a loop knot on the other end and slip a 'biner on or loop over/under a brass clip. 

Now, you can tether it to the kayak so when you have a wild Ling or Cabby, just let go of the gripper and hang on to the bungee. 
They can toss and turn all they want and not going to break a jaw, or get loose.
