    Would you like to win 2 TEAM CATFISH FLOATING FISH GRIPS (HD) ?

    Are you looking for a great new fish handling product developed to save your fingers from those channel cat’s mouths? Here’s an awesome product that’s proven it’s self called THE FLOATING FISH GRIP (HD). It snaps on their jaws and won’t let go until you do. It’s a great product for kids and other anglers that aren’t sure how to hold a catfish.

    Works great when releasing or taking pictures of your next big catfish!

    THE FLOATNG FISH GRIPS (HD) even have a hole in the handle to hang a scale from.

    They work GREAT for cold weather walleyes too!

    Check back often, more to come!

    What does the “HD” stand for?

    Heavy Duty is correct! One catfish dinner for James!

    When Team Catfish first came out with the Floating Fish Grips they worked great for channel cats, but when using them on twisting and turning large Blue Cats there were times when the jaws of the grips would twist and end up releasing the fish.

    The new HD Grips are made to ensure a strong grip on any size fish you catch.

    I broke down this year and bought a set of these and I must say they are a good product. I find they work great as a jaw spreader in hook removal and greatly assist when you are taking a self portrait. I’ve had fish that refused to open their mouth to remove a hook you get this thing in there and they can’t close up. Every catfisherman should have a set of these in their boat. Only complaint is they could make the hole bigger for the scale. My cordless drill fixed that problem in 5 seconds.

    They do work great, now if we could come up with a product for those people trying to hold Sturgeon. In reference to the picture on the back of the sports page in the Star-Tribune, and yes there is s guy there if you look.

    And cue the, “There was a fish in the picture?” replies.

    My question is, why WAS that guy fishing? And she looks like a natural beauty too, if you know what I mean.

    We don’t know this guy, do we?

    I wasn’t going to bring them out for Pug to use, but then I remembered it was his birthday. Felt sorry for the little guy.

    The pictures fine, it’s the gill grip that’s a bummer.

    We actually broke one of these the other day on a big fish. I couldn’t believe it. They sure are handy though for channels.

    If it’s a TEAM CATFISH brand, they’ll replace it actually.
