The Dr. Slick XBC Mitten/Scissor Clamp is 5 and features a straight jaw with half smooth and half cross-hatched jaw structure.No finger loops, so you just squeeze the clamp to open and close! The XBC series is availaible in 5 electric powder coated finishes in one of 5 vibrant colors including Pink, Yellows, Blue, Red, and Green.Mitten clamps are good all year. Of course, they are made for that stiff knuckled day when it was 8 degrees and you could barely hold your rod, let alone release that winter marvel you had coaxed to strike your sculpzilla. They just make for easy maneuvering on the water and the built in retainer is so easy, all clamps should have one.
