I would also like to hear opinions on these. I saw one of the grippers but it had pointed jaws which looked like they might damage a fish.

i always use them but my clamps have rounded ends and dont seem to harm the fish. find them reliable

Clipping a fish by the jaws holing them up measuring there weight doesn't sound like that safest way of treating the fish if it's for catch and release...

There a complete waste of money if you ask me, overpriced and a part of the bling culture of lure fishing...

Mine only cost 10 euro, and its no worse than them being hooked and dragged from whence they came. it just takes a couple of seconds and just for larger fish
