For me one
of the most exciting parts of fishing is figuring out how much my catch
weighs, whether it’s a three-pound flounder, a 30-pound striper,
or 300-pound marlin. Until now, that entailed a lot of estimating. Thanks
to GripNweigh, a digital fish scale from Xtools, not only can you establish
the poundage of your conquest, but you can also get a solid grip on it
so it doesn’t slip off into the deep blue and become the dreaded
“one that got away.” According to the company, this patented
gizmo helps you “control, lift, unhook, and weigh your catch in one
easy, fast motion.” It works on any fish up to 25 pounds and even
stores the weight of the five heaviest fish you’ve caught. Additionally,
GripNweigh features a watertight electronics housing and a safety lanyard,
and it floats—just in case.
GripNweigh
is available at a number of gear and tackle shops nationwide. It costs
$89.99, will lend a helping hand to any amateur angler, and should make
figuring out how much your fish weighs a piece of cake. Contact the company
for a list of retailers near you.
