Fishing Scales
Save a fish, use a Boga
Grip!
The bottom line is that the
Boga Grip is such a great quality useful tool, it gets countless
free publicity on the cover of most of the popular fishing
magazines. The company does not advertise and its
popularity is tremendous among fishing enthusiasts in the know.
This tool protects a fish during a release by minimizing the
amount of protective slime removed from a fish during handling.
This tools also accurately weighs a fish.
The BogaGrip is a
high-quality fish landing, handling and weighing tool. It
handles fish by encompassing the fish's lower jawbone and works
on most species of fish. The BogaGrip features easy, one-hand
operation and will accurately weigh fish. The BogaGrip is very
saltwater resistant. It is ideal for the wade and bank
fisherman, as it clips nicely to a fisherman's apparel; but it
is equally at home in a boat. The BogaGrip is built to handle
fish weighing double its scale capacity.
The BogaGrip is designed to
promote "catch and release fishing," as it will land, handle,
and weigh fish quickly and simultaneously without injury to the
fish. The BogaGrip also affords an easy opportunity to inspect
and take pictures of the fish. Since it doesn't wipe off the
protective slime nor puncture the fish, and allows the fish to
be quickly returned to the water, fish that are handled and
released using the BogaGrip should be more likely to survive.
The BogaGrip is particularly good
for handling fish in cold weather, or hard-to-handle fish such
as toothy fish, slimy fish, or fish that are likely to fin or
cut a fisherman. It also keeps a fisherman's hand at a safer
distance from hooks.
The BogaGrip is
generally tube shaped, with one end serving as the grip and
scales, and the other end with a pair of jaws. It has a trigger
sleeve that slides along the main tube, serving as an opening
and closing means as well as a lock. The grip consists of a
sleeve tube covered with a non-slip grip. The grip sleeve slides
over the main tube and is linked to it through the scale spring.
The main tube has a precision scale embossed in it to match each
individual scale spring, and the scale is calibrated using
certified weights to insure accuracy within one increment. You
can send your BogaGrip to IGFA (954-927-2628 Dania Beach, FL)
where they can certify it for world-record catches.
The BogaGrip is made
in the USA of USA-made materials. All metal parts of the
BogaGrip are made of 300 series stainless steel, with the
exception of the precision scale spring, which is 17-7 PH
stainless steel. All plastic parts are made from acetal, which
is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that is used in
non-lubricated bearing applications. Acetal is tough and resilient
and is very resistant to UV light. Constructing the BogaGrip of
these materials makes it very strong and resistant to conditions
encountered while fishing in fresh or saltwater.
