Boga Grip

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.

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,
