Fish Lip Gripper - wanted

Hi,

looking at getting a "Fish Lip Gripper" but what I have seen in some shops were not what I have seen in other fish'os boats

I don't want a huge Gripper, possibly middle of the range size

I've seen the budget priced cheap Grips and they are just that - cheaply made for a low price with lower quality

 

Question is: is there a Brand that is at least in the middle of the quality range, at a realistic price ??

What brand / model do most guys use ??

Thanks in advance

Berkley

The Berkley lip grips are quite good, i think mine were around 40 - 50 bucks.

Boga grips are the best, but a bit too pricey for most of us.

Tried a cheap set from Ebay, useless, any fish with a bit of weight to it would slip out.

I have a $30 Berkley gripper, haven't had an issue yet, although the biggest fish I have grabbed with them is around the 5kg mark, havent slipped at all
