at local $1.00 store spotted a small, plastic clamp that looks perfect for a lip gripper. It is ratcheted, operate with one hand, trigger release. It opens to about 4 inches and ratchets down to about 1/8 inch, small, fits in palm easily. Even has holes in the handle to attach a lanyard, bungee, whatever.....I will probably get a few more next time if they are still there. Would even serve at the end of rod or paddle leash.
