Exactly what Toby said - thanks Toby!
I've had the same retractor for 5 years now, it stopped working about halfway through this season. Time for something new...

It is cool in a slide rule in the computer age sorta-kinda way. Problem is that much like engineers should need to learn the slide rule before the easy 'puter, we need to have more people understanding and adhering to the regulations before they go fishing (OK. a little bumpy but work with me here).

Lip gripper/scale is at the top of my list for new equipment for next season. I'll be using it on the kayak and in the surf.
Lots of good input here.
Think I might go with the 30lb. Boga.
Expensive but from the reviews I've read it might be worth the extra money
I've got a digital scale in the pack for anything bigger than 30lbs..

me too. getting a hook through the hand is my worst fear, id rather get slammed by a rouge wave then have a nice vmc in the hand. i think it will also help me land fish faster/easier since i alway hesitate the second i see those trebles. the 60 would be nice to have but it is very long and $130 more. i will probably just hang it off my belt on a d-ring. hopefully santa will get me one |

Finally got around to taking a picture of how my 60# Boga mounts on my belt.
