I just finally came across this thread and to make the entire Boga discussion pointless, it should be noted most people carry them just to deal with schoolies and blues with a face full of trebles quickly and safely. In the event a bigger fish gets Boga'd it usually doesn't even get lifted out of the water, just safely controlled. For most it's not something to measure fish with.

De-badging my wetsuit lest I be judged and hanging up my almost 15 year old Boga in order to be cool and politically correct, even though I fish mostly at night and mostly in areas no one else fishes where nobody sees me anyways,
