[#0000FF]It WILL work and it is a simple one-handed operation. The main downside is that those metal jaws can do some real damage on a flopping fish...especially trout. So, they are okay on fish you plan to keep, but not good for any fish you plan to release.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]The new floating plastic models are now preferred by most anglers who use lip grippers. Again, a one handed operation...but generally a less damaging grip on the fish. However, they are shorter and you have to get closer to the fish than with an extended metal gripper...or a reach tool.
