The Boga Grip 130 is the original tool 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 is 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 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.

The Boga Grip also affords an easy opportunity to inspect and take pictures of the fish. Since you won’t be physically holding the fish and have a secure grip of them, you won’t be wiping 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 Boga Grip should be more likely to survive. The Boga Grip 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 spine or cut a fisherman. It also keeps a fisherman’s hand at a safer distance from hooks.

The Boga Grip 130 will weight fish up to 30lbs and is made in the USA of USA-made materials. All metal parts of the Boga Grip Tools are made of 300 series stainless steel, with the exception of the precision scale spring, which is 17-7 PH stainless steel.
