Rapala Floating Fish Gripper

Rapala Floating Fish Gripper

The more you handle a landed fish destined for release, the more you jeopardise its chances of a quick recovery and survival. The slime and scales of a fish are its protection from disease and parasites. When you handle a fish, this protection is reduced and the released fish stands a greater chance of succumbing to an untimely end.

The Rapala Floating Fish Gripper is a brilliant way to handle your catch and significantly reduce the impacts of handling. Thankfully, recent years has seen an astronomical rise in catch and release. The continuing education of anglers from all walks has ensured this sustainable approach to fishing has really taken on, and Australia at least can look forward to healthy fish stocks going forward.
