Those are Angler Tech grippers exclusive to Compleat Angler stores. A few other brands make similar types. I do like how they distribute the bite point over more surface area to reduce breaking through a fishes lip but due to the shape of the bite point they are more fiddly to use and are not much chop on smaller species.
Michael55678 depends on their size and area caught mate. Around here it is generally okay to eat legal sized coral trout but a bit further north the larger of the species can carry ciguatera due to a build up of toxins from eating other reef species. Generally though table sized fish are okay, ciguatera is really only an issue in large specimens.
Great channel mate 👌
Thanks Mate.
What brand lip grippers do you use and do you recommend them or another brand

I’d like to see you do a review of your boat and everything on it and also modifications / products that you think would make it even better.
Nikad19 okay mate, i might tackle that in a few weeks, thanks for the suggestion.
Good on ya luke!! Hopefully this weekend will stay good so i can get out and have a fish.

Great video Luke. What brand is the blue paddletail?
Thanks mate, it is from Tricky Lures here in Hervey Bay I am going to cover them in more detail in late Feb.

Thank for that. I am new to Brisbane and look to visit Harvey Bay in the next summer. Nice Vid too giving me lots of inspiration. :)
Excellent video Luke. Did you compile the lot yourself? This is A grade work. Cheers
