FISH GRIPPER

To provide a long fish gripper that facilitates fish gripping operation even in a space with an obstructive place including mud in front of a position where an angler stands, thereby solving the problem of the conventional fish gripper in which, in the space with the obstructive place including the mud in front of the position where the angler stands, a tip pinching part does not reach a caught fish mouth and the angler has to get in the mud to perform the fish gripping operation.SOLUTION: A fish gripper includes a pinch operation unit 100 at a tip of an extension body 50 extended from a grip part 2 to the other side. An extension operating member 51 connected to the rear end of an operating member and capable of moving longitudinally is arranged in the extension body 50. A spring member 7 associated with the extension operating member 51 is arranged in the grip part 2. Pinching parts 5A, 5B are mutually opened with the movement of the extension operating member 51 against the spring force of the spring member 7 by an operation part 20. Thereby, the extension operating member 51 is automatically locked in a position where the pinching parts 5A, 5B are mutually opened substantially maximally.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】従来の魚掴み器は、釣り人の立つ位置の前方に泥濘など邪魔な箇所がある場所では、先端の挟持部が釣り上げた魚の口に届かず、泥濘などに入り込んだ魚掴み操作となる。釣り人の立つ位置の前方に泥濘など邪魔な箇所がある場所においても、魚掴み操作がし易い長尺の魚掴み器を提供する。【解決手段】握り部２から先方へ延びた延長本体部５０の先に挟持作動ユニット部１００を備え、延長本体部５０内には作動部材の後端部に連結され前後移動可能な延長作動部材５１が配置され、握り部２内に延長作動部材５１に関係づけたバネ部材７が配置され、操作部２０によりバネ部材７のバネ力に抗した延長作動部材５１の移動に伴って挟持部５Ａ，５Ｂ相互が開き、挟持部５Ａ，５Ｂ相互が実質最大に開く位置にて延長作動部材５１を自動ロックする魚掴み器。【選択図】図２
