How do they hold up? l

What attracted me to this gripper was the ultralight weight and the fact that it floats. The price is a bonus.
As far as durability; I've only used it for 2-10 day trips and landed maybe 25 fish with it. I use it only for the larger fish that I intend to photograph or fish that I have trouble unhooking at the side of the canoe that I want to release. I use it on a 10' leash tied to the center thwart so it can be used in the stern as well as the bow. So far it has alot of teeth marks but does not seem anywhere near the end of its life. The biggest fish I've landed with it is a 15lb lake trout. It will be going with me on trips in the future.
