arpie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Guys When I was down the south coast at Tuross last week, guess what I found at the place we had our fish & chips?? A pair of Juro lip grippers for $45 ..... that were virtually identical to 'Lippers' & bogagrips for 1/6 of the price!!! They have a trigger action whereby you can 'set the grip', put it in the mouth of the flattie/fish & push the black button to 'close up' on the fish's mouth! It has a built in weight measurer (if it is a reallly big fish, it will allow the grippers to 'spin' instead of being static .....or if you remove the metal screw shown in the pic, they spin like the clappers for all fish, limiting damage to the jaw that 'static' ones can do especially to flatties!) It even has a tape measure in the handle ..... altho why they have it going 'around the handle' instead of 'down the gripper' to measure the fish from tail to head ......... you'd have to ask their design department! Apart from that one 'anomaly', I am happy very with them! They did the job on the 50cm flattie on Wed! Much easier to use than the 'cheaper' berkley ones I have used previously. With arthritis in my fingers, they were very difficult to 'cock & hold' till the fish was ready to have it put in their mouth! With the 'cock' & 'release' setup ..... much easier! Never seen Juro ones up this way! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 They sound really well designed Roberta. I particularly like the set & release trigger idea. Look forward to seeing them scruffing the lip of a big momma flathead. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Sounds good Roberta, i think the prices on some of those lip grips is ridiculous. What was the max. weight that one goes up to? Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Hi Josh Went out in the yak today & checked the weight - up to 26lb - should be big enough for me ...... till I hit Awoonga!
