Best Boga / Lip Grip

[ivanputski]

Here it is... owned it for about 6-7 years... been submerged longer than a shipwreck... No name, made in China 30$ at west marine (I actually got it for $18.99 on clearance), 50 lb scale accurate to a 1/2 pound... more durable, reliable, corrosion resistant than any van stall or any other piece of gear that I own... this thing is from another planet... I'd hold it up against a real boga any day... really strong grip. the only thing that has ever gone wrong is the plastic tip fell off... big deal. if anyone can find me one for sale somewhere, I'll buy YOU one as well as a finder's fee!!! Cabelas had them 2 years ago with a baby blue handle, but they are gone now.... As long as I dont lose it, I trust it will last forever.

Cabela's had the same exact scale about 3 years ago with their name on it (theirs had a light blue grip) cant find them anymore... I'll post a pic tomorrow. I wish I could find another for the day I lose this one... Its submerged A LOT.

I have that exact same one. Got it at Ocean State Tackle about two years ago when they had a store in Coventry, RI. I believe that location closed, but he still has a place on Branch Ave. in Providence.

I'll PM you my address so you can send me one. (J/K - )

Hopefully he still has them in stock for you -
