I have used both the berkely and the rapala and didn't like either. The end of the berkley that surrounds the jaws is made of plastic and pinned together, a little sideways torque and a fish slips out of the jaws, no good. I found the business end of the rapala to be too wide to get in most fish's mouths, especially if they're pinned shut a bit, also mine started to fall apart rather quickly. I picked up this no name gripper and I must say that it worked great all last season, no design issues and the scale is spot on, don't remember where I got mine, but basspro has the same ones now, calls them the econoscale.
