These fish holders out hold allOthers. I was hesitant to spend so much on holders when others were half price but after getting them and using them now I can see why. The craftsmanship is second to none and they close firmly on the fish.The boga grip is a great tool with an accurate scale and is fail safe for handling fish.My second purchase. (My wife wants a pair so we don't have to share) Yes, there are less expensive grippers out there in all shapes and sizes and I tried them all. Trust me, they all can perform ok. Especially when new. My first pair is 7 years old and I use them every time I fish and I fish probably around 150 days a year. They look and perform like they just cam out of the wrapper. They have never lost a fish...not even close. So if you have the money to invest in a rock solid piece of crucial fishing equipment, spring for these. You will be glad you did.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!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.Great for gripping the fish while you remove the hooks.Got this for my wife for bay fishing. Same tried and true quality as the larger version I keep on the boat. The scale pleases my wife because she now knows how much her trophy weighs (if it’s 15 lbs or less).The BogaGrip cost significantly more than any other gripper, but once you compare them you'll know why. The Boga is truly a well designed and manufactured product that will last a long time, unlike the Chinese made knockoffs. It holds well, works smoothly and weighs accurately. This is something that I can't say about the less expensive grippers. If you consider the cost of replacing the less expensive grippers because they broke or performed poorly, this gripper will be less expensive in the long run. I would like to qualify the comment about weighing accurately. The weight scale is graduated in 1 lb. increments and those increments are fairly close together. The manufacturer calibrates the scale with certified weights to within one increment and it can be certified by IGFA. This is meant for bigger fish and situations where you're not worried about ounces. The BogaGrip does have well written instructions for disassembly and assembly should that be necessary for cleaning. It also includes a tool to aid in the process. It is made in the USA of USA materials.噂どおりの重量感とガッチリした作りに伝統を感じます。見た目のゴツさにも関わらずトリガーは指1本でも開けるスムーズさに感心しました。いろいろ他社の使えないグリップ買わずにもっと早くこちらを購入しておけば良かったとあらためて思いました。まだ使ってませんが耐久性は高そう感じです。知ってはいたんですが重めですね。鈍器並みですので軽さを求めるならやめた方が良いかと。重いのは理解していたつもりですが重いです しかし所有欲の満たされる逸品です
