20 years and counting
Don't throw away money on lesser grips. I can't count how many times the Boga Grip saved my life! I have the 30 lb one and have beached 30 lb snook, 75 lb tarpon, 10,000 (slight ) peacock and regular bass, and hundreds of striped bass.
Buy one and you will own it for your fishing life!!

Looks like a quality item and performs well.
- I've had the opportunity to use this item on a recent week long trip to the Algoma Region of Central Ontario. - No problems and works as intended. - Obvious quality in the construction and design. - A little on the pricey side but "quality is remembered long after the price is forgot." - 4 stars because of my length of use but it should perform well for a long time.

After one use your in love
When taking the Boga Grip out of the box, you notice right away this product is far from cheap. It is worth every penny. Built solid, easy opperation, and is extremely fish friendly.
Every fishing trip taken in the Northeast, the odds of catching a huge gator (Pickerel) is great. These awesome, hard fighting, relentless, and slimy fish view your fingers as tasty little cocktail franks. The Boga Grip grabs the jaw of the fish with authority and never lets go. If you end up catching that large fish where your curious on the weight, the built in scale is extremely useful.
The only negative that prevents this product from recieving 5 stars is the difficulty I have reading the scale. The little incriments are extremely accurate but can be tough to view when pumped full of adrenaline after catching that prized fish. Digital scale #s are like a flashing billboard compared to the Boga Grips, fine print on a pill bottle, scale lines.
Overall this is one of my favorite fishing tools I've ever used and will be present on every trip I take.

Performs as advertised
This grip does what it is meant to do. Help land fish safely, quickly, and easily. One hand operation, high quality construction and a convinient scale make it excell. A bit pricey, but it works and I feel like it will do so until I lose it, not until it breaks or wears out!

Best Scales I've Ever Owned
These are definitely worth the money. I'll admit, I thought they were a little pricey, but they are the most accurate scales I have ever owned. It takes a little practice to get used to reading them since they only have marks for each 1/4 pound. After a couple of times on the water, I can now be within a couple of ounces of our certified scales my bass club uses for weigh ins. I pair these with the Ardent Cull System to keep up with my total weight and allow for fast culling. The scales allow you to weigh your fish without having to do a lot of extra handling. They are fast and extremely friendly to the fish. You don't even have to put a hole in the fish' mouth to weigh them. They are just a great product all around that I would recommend to anyone.

amazing product
i bought a yoga grip and it was amazing the first time i used it. I hooked everything from 4 pound smallmouth to northerns and large walleyes. The fish twisting and thrashing around in the net or in the air didn't even phase the yoga grip with its design to spin when they do and absorb all there thrashing energy works great. Also i have the 30lb model and i used the scale for most of my big and the compared to a electronic scale and it couldn't get and closer the scale works great. all around great product worth the money. a very long lasting product that will forever be with my tackle boxes.

Excellent product
I bought the largest model and use it for everything from fishing up north for walleye, pike, musky, and salmon, along with saltwater fishing for fish like tarpon, kingfish, redfish, grouper, barracuda, wahoo, and more.
The larger sized model works fine with smaller fish of only 1-2 pounds but really comes in handy knowing it wont break when I pick up larger fish over 50lbs for photos before sticking them in the fish box or before releasing them.
Being a professional yacht captain I get to travel all over the world fishing and it really can handle some large fish and does it with ease! Check out the attached pick of my dads first tarpon he caught while visiting the yacht I was captaining in the caribbean.

Accurate weight tool
I have the 315 and it is accurate to the ounce. It doesn't rust and so far I haven't lost it because I always use the lanyard..

Worth the money
Did not want to part with the bucks, but the Boga Grip is well worth the money. It is built solid, the scales are as accurate as spring scales get, and the fact that the grip spins in the handle keeps my wrist from getting strained when a big cat starts to spin in the water.
This is much better then using a landing net on catfish. No hooks or fish to untangle from net, no fish thrashing on the deck, no blood on the deck, no barbs or hooks stuck in my body. The fish is boated, dehooked, weighed, photos taken, and either in the livewell or released in a matter of minutes without ever having to touch the fish.
Had a cheaper one. Broke on 2nd fish, a 13 lb channel cat. Don't waste money on the cheap ones. Ain't cheap if don't hold up. Get a Boga it will be cheaper in the long run, well worth the money

Quality
Solid Construction.
Easy to use.
Safe for you and the fish
Great tool for pike fishing. When the fish spins the tool rotates with the fish so you don't hurt your wrist and the fish doesn't hurt their jaw.
We used it for weighing big bass too.

High quality & ease of use
I was hesitant to purchase the Boga Grip due to the price; if you are thinking about it, do not hesitate, BUY IT! Product quality is felt as soon as it is removed from the box, it provides easy one-handed use while grasping and releasing the fish, and it is gentle on the fish.

Great tool
Took the Boga Grip on a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. They require barbless hooks on the Canadian side. With the Boga Grip and the barbless hooks we released more fish unharmed than ever before. We didn't have to touch them.

best fishing tool ever
I used my Boga grip on a pike trip and landed big fish all week with it. Never lost a fish and after the first 5 pikes, I was unhooking fish within 5 seconds at the side of the boat while they were still in the water. No net, no tangled lures in net, no split fins on the fish, no gongshows in the boat because a pike is mixed all up in gear in the bottom of the boat. So easy and smart. It takes some poise to grab a leader with your bare hand and snatch the boga grip on a pike's jaw in one motion, but once you have it down pat, there is no better way to land big fish. I had smaller snakes (5 pounders) twist up and all I had to do was spin them the other way and they were free.
One pike swallowed a buddy's jointed rap and it was embedded down in the throat. Boga Grip, jaw spreaders and long-nose pliers and 10 seconds and that big fish was swimming away.
Awesome product for those concerned about not handling a fish too much and doing as least amount of damage as possible.

You get what you pay for
There a few of the lipper style grippers out there. This is the most expensive I've seen. It's also the only one I'd buy now. Well made, bullet proof, rotates to protect fish, accurate scale, and cinches down on the jaw ith the fishes weight. No comparisson. If it doesn't rotate, it's probably going to hurt the fish.

I bought this boga grip for toothy fish and big fish.
It is really a good product to handle but it seems a bit heavy.

saving my fingers
I've been fishing for eyes about 20 years now, and can't believe how nice this tool is. I've cut my hands numerous times from the gill plate, been spiked by fins, or have had teeth puncture my fingers, and after using the Boga this week - I will never be without one. I handled a couple dozen eyes this week without a mishap. A quality tool, and I am glad I spent the extra money and got a good unit.

Excellent quality
I just bought the Boga Grip with the 30 lbs. scale. I have a competitors grip and this one is way more solid and easier to use. Sure it cost more but I believe in quality and this grip has it hands down. Easy to hold on to and grips the fish solidly. Then it's easy to release the fish after a few pictures. Definitely worth every penny. Also quick sipping from the Bass Pro Store.

Boga rocks!
Best fish management tool ever. We had a Berkeley unit and it was worthless. Just be sure to put a big enough float on to be able to save it when you drop it overboard.

Awesome !!!
Don't be fooled by the cheaper weaker versions of the Boga. If you fish salt water you can almost say this tool is a must due to everything has razor sharp teeth. The scale is very accurate and all the parts are very sturdy. Strong jaws yet gentle on the fish.

good buy
to be honest, i think this is a smart choice. you get what you pay for, which in this case is an accurate and durable scale. in my opinion, it is also a good buy because it has a lifetime warrantee. so you are paying 120 dollars for an acurrate sclae for the rest of your life.

Must have fishing tool
I purchased the Boga 15lb and 30lb fish grip tool and highly recommend this for the serious angler. Extremely easy to use, grips the fish and will not let go. I have also found the scale to be very accurate.
