Best for

Anglers who fish with a partner or want a spare metal gripper on hand will like the 2-pack format, the 0.3-pound-per-piece metal build, and the 800+ units bought last month at $14.99.

Skip if

Skip this if you only need a single tool and do not want to pay for a pair, or if you specifically need a hook-removal plier rather than a fish gripper, since a single Rapala RCP6 plier costs less at $11.97.

Overview

Fishing with a buddy, or just wanting a backup if one gripper slips overboard, is the scenario the 2 Fish Gripper Fishing Pliers set is built for. It ships two metal grippers for $14.99, each weighing 0.3 pounds according to the listed specs.

That per-piece weight matches the Rapala RCP6's 0.3 pounds, suggesting a similarly solid metal build rather than the lighter plastic construction seen on cheaper single-piece grippers in this category. Buying two at $14.99 works out to about $7.50 per unit, cheaper per-piece than the single $10.99 Berkley BTSTLP6 or the single $11.97 Rapala RCP6.

The 4.5-star average across 282 reviews sits just under the 4.6-star marks posted by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6, but the 800+ units bought last month is the highest monthly figure in this entire comparison, ahead of the Berkley's 500+ and well past the 3-claw grippers nearby at 200+ and 600+. That volume points to strong current demand for the metal 2-pack format specifically, even with a review count that trails several single-unit competitors in this same comparison. For anglers deciding between a single plier and a matched pair of grippers, the sales figures suggest the pair format is winning out right now.

Pros

  • 800+ units bought last month is the highest demand figure among every alternative in this comparison.
  • A metal 2-pack at $14.99 works out to about $7.50 per piece, undercutting single metal pliers like the $10.99 Berkley.
  • A 4.5-star average across 282 reviews is a solid, well-sampled rating.
  • Each piece weighs 0.3 pounds, matching the Rapala RCP6's weight and suggesting comparable metal build quality.
  • Getting two grippers means a built-in backup if one is lost overboard or lent to a fishing partner.
  • Metal construction should hold up better than plastic 3-claw grippers in this same category.

Cons

  • The 4.5-star rating sits slightly below the 4.6 stars posted by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6.
  • 282 reviews is fewer than the 396 to 848 reviews behind three of the four comparison listings.
  • At $14.99 total, it costs more upfront than single-unit options like the $8.70 to $11.97 grippers and pliers nearby.
  • The listed feature field shows no additional function beyond the basic gripper, unlike the Texas SR-5's split-ring feature.
  • Buyers who only want one tool are paying for a second piece they may not need.

Performance notes

At 0.3 pounds per piece, this metal gripper carries enough heft to feel secure gripping a fish without being tiring to hold through a long day, a weight class that matches the Rapala RCP6's metal-plier build. Shipping as a 2-pack means the $14.99 price covers two full-weight metal tools rather than one, which changes the math compared to single-unit listings. Where a single $10.99 Berkley BTSTLP6 or $11.97 Rapala RCP6 buys one plier, this listing's per-unit cost works out lower once split across both pieces. The metal build should hold up to repeated gripping better than the plastic or mixed-material 3-claw grippers found at similar price points in this category, since metal jaws typically resist wear and flex less under a struggling fish's weight. The tradeoff is a higher total price than picking a single lighter-duty gripper.

What buyers say

With 800+ units bought last month, this 2-pack shows the strongest current demand of any listing in this comparison, ahead of the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and more than double the Texas SR-5's 0+. The 4.5-star average across 282 reviews is respectable, though it trails the 4.6-star marks held by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6 by a small margin. Given the review count is lower than several competitors while the purchase volume is the highest, the pattern suggests a listing that is newer or has scaled its sales faster than its review base, which is common for pack-format products that offer more perceived value per dollar. The rating still lands comfortably in the 4-star-plus range shared across every product in this set.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 2 Fish Gripper Fishing Pliers come as a single tool or a set?

They ship as a 2-pack, according to the listed pieces count, with each piece made of metal and weighing 0.3 pounds. That makes the $14.99 price cover two full grippers rather than one, unlike single-unit listings such as the Rapala RCP6.

How does the price per unit compare to single fishing pliers?

Splitting the $14.99 price across two pieces works out to roughly $7.50 per gripper, which is less than the $10.99 single-unit Berkley BTSTLP6 or the $11.97 single-unit Rapala RCP6. The tradeoff is a higher total upfront cost since you are buying two tools at once.

Is this 2-pack a popular option right now?

Yes. It shows 800+ units bought last month, the highest monthly figure among the fishing-pliers alternatives covered here, alongside a 4.5-star rating across 282 reviews. That combination points to strong, active demand for the metal 2-pack format, well ahead of the 500+ monthly figure for the single-unit Berkley BTSTLP6.
