The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Landing a slippery bass or catfish at the dock without a puncture wound usually means reaching for a claw gripper instead of your bare hand. The 2 Pack Fish Gripper answers that scenario with two non-slip, 3-claw metal grippers for $12.99, a price built around getting a spare in the tackle bag rather than trusting a single tool to never get lost overboard.
The metal build and 3-claw design are the only specs listed, and the red and blue color pair makes the two units easy to tell apart on a crowded boat deck. There is no split ring tool, no line cutter, and no crimping feature mentioned, which separates it from multi-function pliers like the Rapala RCP6 or Berkley BTSTLP6 in this same tool category. This is a grip-and-hold tool, not an all-in-one plier.
At 4.2 stars across 123 reviews, the rating sits under the 4.4 to 4.6 stars the three needle-nose plier alternatives carry, and the 123 review count is also the smallest sample of the group. Still, 200+ units bought last month matches the Rapala RCP6 pace and beats the Texas SR-5, which shows 0+ bought last month, so buyers are actively choosing this two-pack even with the lower average score.
Pros
- Two grippers for $12.99 total, cheaper per unit than the single-piece Rapala RCP6 at $11.97
- 3-claw metal design matches the non-slip grip style used across this fishing-pliers category
- Red and blue color pairing makes the two units easy to distinguish on deck
- 200+ bought last month ties the Rapala RCP6's demand pace and beats the Texas SR-5's 0+
- A spare unit built into the pack if one gripper is dropped or lost overboard
Cons
- 4.2 star average is the lowest of the four fishing-pliers products compared here
- 123 reviews is the smallest review sample among the four alternatives, several with 300+ more
- No split ring tool, line cutter, or crimping feature is listed, unlike the Texas SR-5's split-ring plier
- Weight is not specified, so buyers cannot compare heft against the Rapala RCP6's 0.3 pounds

Performance notes
The claw-grip mechanism is built for controlling a fish's jaw or lip rather than crimping split rings or snipping line, so it plays a narrower role than a full multi-tool plier. Metal construction should hold up to repeated grip-and-release cycles on slippery fish better than a plastic-jawed tool, and the non-slip claw surface matters most when a bass or catfish is thrashing boatside. Because the pack ships two units, one gripper can stay clipped to a tackle bag while the other rides in a kayak or wading pack, which matters for anglers who fish from more than one spot in a season. The red and blue coloring is a practical touch for telling the pair apart at a glance rather than a performance factor. With no listed weight or dimensions, buyers comparing this against heavier tools like the Rapala RCP6 at 0.3 pounds have no way to judge how it balances in hand before buying.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 123 reviews is a smaller, slightly softer signal than the other three fishing-pliers products in this comparison, which each sit at 4.4 stars or higher on review counts ranging from 396 to 848. That gap suggests a portion of buyers have reservations, though nothing in the facts points to a specific failure pattern. What stands out is the demand: 200+ units bought last month puts this two-pack on par with the Rapala RCP6 and well ahead of the Texas SR-5's 0+ figure, meaning current buyers are choosing it despite the lower rating, likely on the strength of the $12.99 price for two units rather than one.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2 Pack Fish Gripper made of real metal?
Yes, the listing specifies a metal build with a 3-claw non-slip design. No weight or dimension specs are provided, so it is not possible to compare exact heft against other metal grippers, but the material itself is metal rather than plastic or a plastic composite.
Why does this gripper come as a 2 pack?
The listing bundles two non-slip claw grippers in red and blue for $12.99 total, giving buyers a backup unit if one is lost overboard or left behind. That works out cheaper per unit than buying a single gripper like the $11.97 Rapala RCP6 separately, since two are included here.
How does this compare to needle-nose fishing pliers?
This is a claw-style gripper for holding a fish's jaw or lip, not a needle-nose plier. Products like the Rapala RCP6 and Texas SR-5 add split ring tools and line cutters that this listing does not mention, so anglers who need those extra functions should look at a multi-tool plier instead.
