Your fishing line is
screaming, and now is the time that you wish you would’ve put stronger
line on your reel. You’ve been fighting a monster fish for 20 minutes
and you don’t know how much more your line, or your arms are going to
take – you just know you want to get this fish landed. You finally get
the fish next to your boat and he’s got a mouth full of treble hooks and
he’s flopping like he’s at a sock hop. You don’t want to net him and
spend the next hour getting him out of the net, and you sure don’t want
to stick your hand anywhere near its toothy mouth. At this time you’re
probably wondering if there is an easier way to land this fish without
excessive damage to you or the trophy fish. Well, there is – Boga
Grips.
The Boga Grip is an
ingenious tool for fishermen of all walks. Originally designed for
saltwater fishing, the Boga Grip was built to safely land large fish
without damaging the fish or the fishermen’s fingers from treble hooks
and sharp teeth. Since its induction into the fishing industry, the
Boga Grip has received numerous accolades, and it's the preferred tool
of a lot of saltwater guides and fishermen – but that’s not the only
place its used for. Many inland fisherman use Boga Grips to
land everything from trout to pike. Plus, it’s perfect for the
catch-and-release fisherman as they can subdue the fish, get it in the
boat and weigh it without ever having to touch it and disturb the fish’s
protective coating -- and all of this can be done in less than a
minute.

With scissor-style design, the heavier the fish is, the
stronger the clamps get. |
Basically, the Boga Grip has
stainless steel clamps that encompass the lower jaw of fish. And with
the Boga Grip’s design, it doesn’t matter how heavy the fish is, because
with the clamp’s scissor-style action, the heavier the fish is, the
harder the steel tongs bear down.
To see how plump
your fish really is, the Boga Grips have a scale integrated into the
handle, so all you have to do is lift up and you have it weighed – the
only thing left after that is to take a picture and set ‘em back in the
water or in your livewell.
Being that I live
smack-dab in the middle of the United States, I don’t get to do too much
saltwater fishing, but instead I get to sate my big-fish needs by
seeking obese catfish. After taking the Boga Grips out on a couple of
cat fishing excursions, I found that the Boga Grip was a valuable
commodity to my stinkbait-reeking catfish bucket. With the soft foam
handle and nylon lanyard, I found I could wrestle some fairly large
catfish into the boat. And even when I had one that decided he wanted
to fight, the Boga Grip’s handle turns freely from the business end so
the fish couldn’t hurt himself when he got to wiggling around.
I found the Boga Grip to
be a very serious fishing instrument that can be used by a wide variety
of fisherman. So if you would like to make your fishing trips easier
with more stress-free landings, |
