Fish Lip Grippers and De Hookers

Fish lip grippers and de hookers make handling, controlling and releasing fish safer for both anglers and their catch. Whether you're landing toothy predators, removing deeply set hooks or practising catch and release, these essential tools reduce direct contact with fish while helping minimise stress and injury. They're ideal for targeting everything from bream, flathead and trout through to barramundi, snapper, kingfish, mackerel and other hard-fighting Australian species.

At Anglers Warehouse you'll find a quality range of fish lip grippers, fish grips, de hookers and hook removal tools from trusted brands including BKK, Rapala, Daiichi Seiko, Ocean's Legacy, Shimano and more. Available in lightweight, corrosion-resistant designs for both freshwater and saltwater use, these tools provide a secure grip for handling fish, quick hook removal and improved safety when dealing with sharp hooks, treble lures or fish with powerful jaws and teeth.

How To Choose Fish Lip Grippers and De Hookers

Choose compact lip grippers for estuary and freshwater species, or heavy-duty models with higher weight ratings for larger offshore fish. De hookers are ideal for safely removing hooks from deeply hooked or active fish, particularly when using treble hooks or fishing from boats and kayaks. Corrosion-resistant construction is recommended for regular saltwater use.
