The Rookie is the Generation 2 model.  It contains the sheath, pliers, reel, mitt and blue towel. It allows you land, unhook, stow or release your catch in seconds. All while keeping your hands and clothes clean and dry. The durable mitt helps you grasp the fish and protects your hand from hooks. teeth, and fins. The Rookie is also great to use while you are cleaning you catch. It's also excellent at gripping oyster shells which is a great aid in shucking oysters. There is a good amount of cut resistance in the mitt, so if you cut your crabs before you start eating them, the Catcher's Mitt is great for that too!
