Technique:

Neil Schultz shows the preferred way to support a fish for photography using a GOB-LOC. Supporting the fish as shown reduces stress and also displays it to best advantage. Like all good fishing writers, Neil photographs live fish.

GOB-LOC Mk1 economy model.

Ease of use

One-handed operation.
Capture and weigh the fish without having to remove the GOB-LOC.
The spring weighing scale acts like a shock absorber when fish are bucking as you hold them.
Lightweight - throw it in your day pack or clip the jaws onto your belt when trek fishing.

GOB-LOC Mk1 features

Lanyard for security.
Non-slip rigid plastic grip.
Engraved scale calibration marks - in kgs and lbs.
Weight of fish pulls down on jaws, locking them tighter.
