Lip gripper?

[toddonbi]

I have both the Rapala and the Berkley and would give the nod to the Berkley. The Rapala made it half a season-maybe I bought a bad one? Also the Berkley fits nicely in one of the rod holders by the seat.

nightfighter - I think it really depends on how diligent you are with cleaning and how often you fish. If you fish more than a couple times a week and are not super diligent with rinsing and caring for the gripper than get the boga if you can swing the $$. I fish 5 or more days a week from the yak in the summer and have tried all the grippers mentioned. I have had my boga for 6 years now and it is as solid as the 1st day I bought it. I bought other cheaper grippers for friends to use when they take my other yaks but they barely made it through a season. Now granted I do get neglectful and occassionally forget to rinse etc. but if your in it for the long haul the boga is in a class by itself.
