For an electronic fish scale including a molded housing having upper and lower
portions for supported hand grasping and a pair of opposed C-shaped jaws which
open when a jaw actuator is manually moved upwardly to receive a lower lip of a
fish securely held and unhurt between the jaws when closed for weighing the fish,
a jaw tip cover for the lower distal end portion of each jaw half. The jaw tips
or GRIP SOCKS are over-molded of resistant plastic material to enhance gripability
of fish lips and to reduce harm to the fish when released.
