50 pound Econogrip?
 
Hi Team,

Anyone have experience using the 50-lb. Econogrip lipper? Good, bad, ugly (dropping a sow back into the sea accidentally)?

Just want to know what I'm in for next time I land something.

Any Luck?

broke one before lipped the first fish


exchanged that for another and let my buddy use it for a season

the second one still lips, but the scale is shot

Have used this season for bass to the low 30 lbs. No problems yet. And for the price, can't beat it.

Never had a problem with it at all. I occasionally clean and lubricate it and it works fine. Before I lost my last gripper, I had 3 seasons with it with no problem. The scale has been very accurate.

I don't know...maybe I've been lucky. But it does the job.

I had one and it is good for the price but definitely not saltwater friendly. I got about 4 months out of it before it rusted up so the scale was unusable but the lipper still worked decent.

seems to work fine
