The Fish Grip

I received several products, and they are exactly what I expected. The PFD had a delay, but the customer service with ACK is outstanding, and I only hope it is never lost. I read other reviews about shipments being delayed and issues with customer service, but this is not found to be factual if you are friendly, understanding, patient, and understand you are not the only customer. ACK was found to be very responsive to my only concern and mad up for it immediately, which is the only thing a person can honestly ask for in a company. I will continue to support ACK in the future due to their responsiveness to this matter and the response they took in correcting it. Significant job ACK, and I look forward to many years to come.

All products were high quality

All of the products were of hugh quality and I look forward to using them in the near future

I used all of the items purchased for the 1st time, last Friday. Fished a 40 acre private lake here in NTX. Caught 13 bass to 18” on TX rigged senkos and lizards. Had a fantastic time. Everything worked great. Thanks to Guillermo Gonzalez for introducing me to the Diablo kayaks and to Josh Neumeyer for introducing me to bass fishing from kayaks. My only disappointment was that the Larry chair didn’t show up with straps to attach it to my new boat. Had to settle for zip ties until I can find the proper straps.

Great product for handling bass and, when tethered to kayak, can hold the bass secured in the water while you set up to take photo.

The Fish Grip is a very well built product. The grip is very strong and will hold fish very well!!

Great grip , ACK is exceptional in all aspects of ordering and delivery, the grip is the fishing standard !

This is the awesome gripper that Bass pro used to sell. Love it...

The positive reviews are all correct. This is a must tool to carry and is easy to use. highly recommended!

Looks good but $15.00 for plastic pliers? Thus 4 stars

Having a bit of arthritis, the Fish Grip is exactly what I needed to hold and land fish. Sturdy, well-made product that I keep on the kayak. I don't have it leashed, but do "grip" it to the red web adjustment strap on the Feel Free Gravity Seat. If I happen to drop it over the side, hey, it floats for easy retrieval.

I love the fish grip. It really helps with landing and handling fish with minimal impact to the fish itself. I also use it to secure a bass in the water so that I can prepare my measuring board to take tournament photos. The glow in the dark is very handy while fishing at night or early morning.

The fish grip is is an invaluable tool on my kayaks. It doesn't hurt the fish, it floats, and it saves me the hassle of carrying and storing a net. As always ack customer service is second to none.

Product seems very sturdy. It has worked very well so far.

great product, excellent customer service and shipping

Good fish grip it doesn't seem to pierce the fish's lip like some with jaws like the boca grip and that can't be a bad thing. Plus you can get one that glows in the dark and they all float what more could you want?

"Must have" tool, especially when using bait with more than one hook. Works great on bass--not so great on catfish, because its mouth is both difficult to open and to grip.

Very nice grips , I have never hands need for these but since I bought a kayak and I have used these several times now very effective so you don't loose those heavy fish :)

Works great

Great product works well on snook and redfish here in Southwest Florida

The right product for the task. I bought one a year ago and took it on a Catfish fishing trip. It worked so well, everyone now has one. It took the bite out of handling fish. It also made t easier to weight large Cats. Great product !

I bought The Fish Grip because it had great reviews and was about $100 less than a Boga. Wanted it to help hold fish when i was removing treble hooks. Nothing like having a hand and fish hooked at the same time. Anyway, first time out with this grip, i hooked what i thought was a monster bass! That beast came out of the water and my heart was pounding. Had to be 12+ pounds! It went deep, left, right, and i got The Fish Grip out...i was not going to loose this fish! I finally pulled it to the surface on the side of the boat. My bass had whiskers! The Fish Grip came in even handier than i would have ever thought. Long story short, this thing works great for getting your lure out of an unexpected cat fish too.

Nice grips! Can't be beat for the price.

Everyone should own a pair or two of these fish grips. Talk about keeping the treble hooks off of you. The fish grips are awesome. They allow you to handle any fish, remove hooks with ease and without getting hooked or stung by some of the bi-catch that is thrown back and released. Just makes handling the fish so simple. So when it comes to pictures or releasing a fish, taking the hook out of a hard head or anything else its a breeze to do with the fish grips. If I left them at home I would go back and get them. That's how good these grips are!

Super light, works like a vice grip... without the screw/nut in the back of the vice grip to mess with.

Awesome product and works great

Great fish grip they store in my tackle bag all the time and I never forget that. I left my net one time and the fish grip was there with me, very convenient

Great Product!! I liked mine so much, I purchased one for my wife.

Best grips out there.

Looks great haven't had time to use them yet but playing with it at home a little they should be fine.

Item works great, helped to land 23"redfish in a kayak. Much easy to use in a kayak than a net, plus no hooks and fins getting tangled.

Looks like it will work quite well. Unfortunately, I have yet to catch a fish worthy of its use. Love the floating aspect and the high visability.

Just bought my second fish- grip for my father - will be on the Pacific in Mendocino CA for 5 days camping and kayak fishing - these things are WAY easier to deal with rockfish and other spiny dorsal/fin species - a net is required legally to have on the kayak, but it's so much safer to bring them close to the kayak and grip them with the lip-gripper to de-hook, etc. without the tangle of the net & a dangerous fish bouncing in your lap. Love that it FLOATS too - bright colors, one less item to leash to the kayak. Also great for those species that you CAN'T keep and can safely remove the hook and keep in the water without hurting/handling the fish. Can't wait!!! Lingcod, Rockfish, and maybe a... Salmon?

Dont know how I used to fish without these things.?.!.? I pair them with the metal clip stringer and have NOT lost a fish since. It is a horrible feeling to pull in a nice rock fish and then the sucker flops or bounces out of your kayak. - Fish Grips=$15. Metal Stringer=$12. Enjoying FRESH fish with your friends + family= PRICELESS.

Nice fish grabber. So much better than fish gloves. Wish I had bought one years ago.

This product works great for both fresh and salt water fish! The Norton fish grip is now a must have tool every time i go out on the water! Thanks ACK!

This product is great for bigger fish. Holds right and makes it easy to move them around in my kayak

First used on a 13lb catfish. No problems!

The grip works very well and holds even the most exuberant fish--while allowing for safe hook removal.

These have to be the best. I can't imagine any way to make any gripper better. With a small piece of looped rope they can even be used to snatch a limb to hold your position on the water for a tackle change.

Great tool for the kayak. It floats and glows in the dark. The leash is a bungee cord as well. Good product.

A must have for kayak anglers,works well and it floats,plus it's easy on the pocketbook!

works very well. I was suprised at how tight it locks, but since it gets past (avoids) the jawbone it seems to be fine.

I have been using these for years, a must have for fishing with lures that have multiple treble hooks and/or toothy fish. I have used them on Walleye and Pike in NW Ontario and Flounder and Specs on the Texas coast, I still have the first pair I bought 5 years ago and have 2 loaner pairs now.

Awesome gripper, lightweight and it floats.

I love these tools.I dont use them all the time,but, I always carry them with me on the kayak. I latch them onto a handy strap of the kayak seat for ling cod or a deep hooked fish. I've given a couple as gifts to friends, too.

Great grip!!!

Works just as advertised. Have used it on sea trout, redfish, cobia, and snook with no damage to the fish or my fingers, and IT FLOATS.

My son used his fish grips while kayaking and said they work great!

Excellent fish grip. Lightweight yet sturdy with awesome color. Floats too. Can't wait to try it out.

I had my doubts but they're excellent. Once locked you're free to remove hooks without fear of a flopping fish hooking you.

This a great product and perfect for controlling toothy fish while yak fishing.

These things are great! Nice and light, they float, and theyre easy to see in low light. They open and close easily but still clamp on to the fish nice and firm. My only wish would be if the jaws were a little thinner for smaller fish or those with their mouths closedand if they sprung open a little to make one handed operation a little easier.

They work perfect. Also a plus that they float. My last fish grip is sitting on the bottom of a local pond.

This one is a no brainer specially if you are into catch and release. With a wrist loop and the fact that it floats, it was made for the kayak fisherman.

Finally bought one of these - ACK always has the best prices compared to my usual big-name outfitters, tried it out on my kayak - 4 days fishing off the mendocino coast in CA; brought in ling cod & rock fish with the greatest of ease never had to use the net!! and kept my hands safe from sharp spines/fins... safe for handling the few protected species that I couldnt keep. Highly reccomended!!

What a great item to add to your kayak, works like a charm..

The Norton fish grip works well. It takes a little getting used to. However, it is super helpful when you dont want to grab the fish.

Really good fish grip. I'm buying a couple more to give as gifts too.

I recommend these grips to anyone who is serious about fishing. I landed a 30 northern pke with these grips and it made getting the hook out very easy. They are easy to use and the price cannot be beat. A must have!

great tool for the KAYAK quickly grabs fish helping u land it onto your yak with ease

Very lightweight, and easy to use. The locking jaws are also very helpful when handling thrashing fish. A must for every angler!

Perfect for kayak fishing. Light weight. Floats. Grips well. Great value.

I couldnt be happier with this. In the last year I have used this for everything from catfish to sheepshead to gar. Still works like the day I got it. This gripper is the most borrowed item in my tackle box and I have directed dozens of strangers to ACK because of it. Oh, and I am here today to get more for gifts.

Solid tool.

Floats, light weight, highly visible and IT WORKS on large red fish, speckled trout and other large bay fish fine! Economic to the point you could consider it an expendable item, but I have yet to break it! WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK for in a wade fishing or kayaking gripper?

Awesome simple tool that keeps fishing clean and safe. cant complain...

Nice product made from what appears to be high quality, impact resistant plastics. The fact that it floats is a huge plus when fishing from a kayak. I'd rather pay $15 for one of these than $100+ for a boga.

Great fish grip. Doesn't damage the fish like a traditional metal lip gripper can. Plus it floats, which is always a good feature for a kayak fisherman.

Everything we hoped for. It holds on to the fish without piercing through their lips and keeps a tight grip on them. Floats perfectly, easy to see both during day and night..

Easy to use. And works well.
