I didn't care for the Fish grip plastic one .. found it difficult with a active fish it seem to shift and pull away when you squeezed the handle .. but they are cost effective

the plastic lip gripper is great for fishing plugs to keep your hands out of harm's way. When fishing single hooks though, I find it easier to just grab the fish with my hand...

And what's the reason for a 30 pound boga for bass anyway? Kind of pointless?

Exactly. Unless its really big, what's the point of weighing it? If its not for a tournament, guesstimate based on length and girth. No need to hold the fish up by its mouth if you're planning on releasing it.

Who said anything about weighing a 30 lb fish?
Trying to decide between on a gripper of some sort and I'd like to be able to know when I crack a PB.
Big difference between 38 and 40. At least for me.

Get a digital scale and a plastic lip gripper. The gripper lets you handle the fish and release it safely. A digital scale lets you weigh it and get it back in the water quickly. The two together are much cheaper than a boga and less if a strain on the fish.
