Your cart is empty. Boga Grip Advantages
The Boga Grip 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 Boga Grip also affords an easy opportunity to inspect and take pictures of the fish. The Boga Grip is particularly good for handling fish in cold weather, or hard-to-handle fish such as toothy fish. It also keeps a fisherman's hand at a safer distance from hooks.
Boga Grip Design
The BogaGrip is generally tube shaped, with one end serving as the grip and scale, 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 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.
Boga Grip Materials
The BogaGrip is made in the USA of USA-made materials. All metal parts of the BogaGrip are made of 300 series stainless steel, except for 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 unlubricated 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.
Different Models Explained
The Boga Grip is available in three models. Model 315: The scale weighs fish up to 15 pounds in 1/4 pound increments; 9 inches long, weighs 9 ounces. Model 130: The scale weighs fish up to 30 pounds in 1/2 pound increments; 10 3/4 inches long, weighs 1 pound. Model 260: The scale weighs fish up to 60 pounds in 1/2 pound increments; 15 inches long, weighs 1 1/2 pounds. The Boga Grip is built to handle fish weighing double its scale capacity.

I've been using the BogaGrip for years, and it’sential in my tackle bag. You can't depend on a scale if it can't hold your catchhe BogaGrip excels at this. Its smooth, retractable gripper firmly holds the fish’s jaw, making weighing hassle- an absolute ess securely, and tfree. While it’s important to note that the scale can be tough to read in low light—less so than a digital scale—it’s still a reliable tool that no angler should be without. Trust me, the BogaGrip is worth having in your gear!

The BogaGrip is second to none. I took some comparative photos to show the differences between Boga and the Entsport gripper. The first thing to notice is the difference in quality and workmanship in the tool itself. Everything on the Boga is thick walled, tight fitting, smooth operating, and feels good in the hand. The Entsport is thin walled, loose fitting, grinds a bit operating the gripper, and light/cheap in the hand. The scale on the Boga is .25 lb increments and the ES is one pound and clearly inaccurate comparing side by side. I do understand the ES goes up to 15kg. The final comparison is the Boga gripper spins allowing for the gripped fish to do what they do - bending and twisting - when caught to help ensure little to no damage to the fish. The ES doesnt spin at all and almost certainly will either damage or break the fish's jaw if the utmost care is not taken in handling. Further, the grabber claws on the ES are loose along with the rest of the mechanism. I could see a fish coming right out of the jaws of the ES! The Boga is solid, tight, and operates smoothly. No concerning wiggle or looseness in its operation whatsoever with the distinctive "click" delivering confidence. Those who know, know.The Boga is the right and best tool for the job that will last a lifetime!

NOW I GET IT. I bought this minutes after catching and releasing a small halibut who rolled so hard on my knock-off boga that doesn't rotate that he tore his jaw open. Very sad - I released him and wished him well but I know his chances were slim. I bought this grip because it has a rotating grip to protect fish that roll hard when caught (most fish, in my experience). It is so nicely-made and finished that I can't stop touching and feeling it. Wow, this is a very high-quality product that will be on me every time I fish. I thought plastic is plastic metal is metal... Oh no. This is an entirely different class. Still showing that American craftsmanship and quality! I love it.

I received my Boga yesterday, and used it today. My first impression.. This thing looks and feels like $124. No one mentioned that theres a "click" sound whenever you engage the jaws, and it mechanically sounds like one of my expensive snap-on tools. And you can see that high grade parts were used. Somewhat as professional as a surgeons tool.I was LUCKY enough to catch a 3lb large mouth on my first trip out with the Boga. This has got to be my favorite fishing tool on my kayak! No regrets at all! Worth every penny.My only suggestion.. For the price, the package could be better. Perhaps include a nice case for it sometime in the near future?Other than that, Easy 5 stars!!!Update!!! Day 2 with the Boga and caught a 5.4lb lmb!

Fishermans World is located in my home town. I have never, ever seen a fish tackle company that has such a quality selection, nor a professional staff, as comprable to Fisherman's World. The staff are actual fish guides, fish record holders and instructors.I needed a fish scale for work. I was concerned about spending the $130...and I wanted a digital scale because it's easier to read. But I have been told by some professionals that the digital scales are not as accurate. So I bought the expensive Boga Grip and wondered if I was wasting my money.Have you ever driven a car that was somewhat functional but inexpensive, and then either drove or been a passenger in a BMW or Porsche or Bentley? Just sitting in the car you can feel a substantial difference in quality. It's the same first impression with the Boga Grip. This scale is a balanced, solid and remarkable tool. I needed to get it certified at IGFA in case I encountered an angler who catches a world record fish. I sent the scale to IGFA last week to have it tested. To be certified, the scale needs to be accurate within 1/2 pounds in order to pass. Today I received back my Boga Grip scale with IGFA certificate, but here is where it gets interesting. Tested at 1/2 pound intervals, the scale tested dead-on at every single weight up to its 30 pound limit. Yes, the scale performed brilliantly. So, as you are reading this you're wondering if you should spend the extra money to buy the world's finest fish scale and lip grip? The answer is yes,absolutely! You may not be able to afford the Bentley, the BMW or the Porsche, but the Boga Grip is within reach, and should be when you land that monster world-record fish.

Just giving the one star so readers will take note.**** Do Not Use Boga Grips on Bonefish or Trout.**** The damage done to the mouth, tongue and mandible may leave the fish with severe injuries. Many will not recover. Not to worry about using a Boga on many other species like catfish or any of the toothy variety. The Boga's a fine tool but please be knowledgeable and give the fish some respect.
