When landing a 10 pound walleye...........is the clinching apparatus of the boga grip large enough to give confidence when grasping and securing the fish?


Yes. The largest fish I've landed with the Boga was a 30+ pound King Salmon. Certainly could handle a puny 10# 'eye.

I also respectfully disagree with Jimbo: the Boga is better than sliced bread. Never been a fan of a bread you don't carve up yourself.

Here is the best thing about bogas...the fish is secure but you can allow it to stay in the water...swimming around.

It's better for the fish. It's better for you. The grip is rock solid. It's compact. Crap. This has turned into something that sounds like a shameless endorsement....like a Hair Club For Men commercial.
