Yeah, I'm just looking for something to grip the fish with, no scales needed. I will check that out. thanks!

I saw the cabellas model but I like the longer handle on the 12" berkley lip grip, anyone else use this? I know its more crap to carry but I cut the hell out of my hand Friday night landing that fish so it would make life easier.

HAMMER TIME!

More crap to carry is never good.

In almost 40 years of fishing, I've only been nailed once by a blue. And it happened while the bastage was laying high and dry on the bank of the Canal. I was holding the leader about 6" from its mouth and reaching for pliers with my other hand when it flopped up. That was back in 1982.

Now I grab the suckers behind their head so they can't flop. Sometimes I don't even use pliers.

I once got a deal on those Rapala lip grips, the original ones with the small jaws. Useless on any bass more than 15 pounds.
