Lip Pinchers or Cradle net?

[Revalot]

Debating wether I purchase a lip pincher for bringing Musky into the boat or a Cradle net?

Most of the fishing I do is on my own so I think I would find a cradle net easier to use as I can use both hands to lift the net and fish out or choose not to even lift the fish out of the water but still be able to get the hook out.

I have never used a lip pincher before, but it is less bulky and would be better for pictures and controling the head of the Fish.

Suggestions?

I've used a cradle net before (2 People) and I've caught some fair size Muskie and Pike.

I think you would have a Hard Time trying to Control your rod with a Muskie on there and use the Cradle Net at the same time. In fact I think it would be almost impossible to handle them both at the same time.

I've never used a Lip Grabber before so I can't speak to that. We/I have a LARGE Rubber Net that we use for Pike and Muskie. I can Handle that on my own.

Good Luck!!
