Devices and methods for grabbing bait are generally disclosed. In an example, a device for grabbing bait may include a first clasp formed at a distal portion of a first arm extending from a body. The device may further include a second clasp formed at a distal portion of a second arm extending from the body. At least one of the clasps may include a barrier disposed on a first side of the at least one clasp. The clasps may be adapted to be brought together in an uneven fashion, causing bait between the clasps to be urged towards the barrier when the clasps are brought together about the bait.
