What is ATRO?

A selected group of both Captains and Environmentalists interested in the preservation of the Atlantic Tarpon and its estuary's here in the USA. I, Captain Gary Giles, have been a tarpon specialist and researcher science 2004 where I headed up and founded the tarpon tagging and DNA project for the Sports Fish Research Institute at Florida Tech under Dr. Jon Shanker. In that time i have caught and tagged over 900 tarpon and tagged and released alive.

Personal Assessment of product
I enjoy fishing for toothy critters (walleye, pike), and have been witness to several accidents which have occurred by not having control over the fish while landing. I don’t know if there is such thing as control over a 10-20 pound pike after landing him (especially in a boat), but The Fish Grip has come in handy when safety is my primary concern. The Fish Grip is designed to grab the lower jaw of the fish, and locks providing a safe handle away from teeth and hooks. They are extremely effective when handling these creatures, and have not let me down. Another concern, when handling any fish at the boat is the hooks involved. I have been victim to wayward hooks which have somehow found their way into my skin past the barb. The hooks often hurt going in, but are much more painful coming out. The Fish Grip greatly reduces the opportunity to find a stray hook by controlling the fish, without having to reach in the fish’s mouth to land it.

Recommendation
I enjoy reviewing products such as the fish grip, which are inexpensive yet perform their intended task extremely well. I have been using this product for years and as said earlier, they have never let me down. They do not harm the fish you are handling, and help to keep the angler safe from stray hooks and teeth. They are well constructed, inexpensive, and are a great product to have in your tackle box or on your boat.
