Guys, if you can swing it there is no fish handling tool that compares with a boga grip, period. That said the big girls need to be handled under the gills ( But anything under 40 gets the boga). I honestly don't like messin with fish without one. It is hard for me to understand how folk can comment on bogas having never used one.

I fished with an interesting fellow this past summer who used tieable leader material. It was very thin, nice presentation. I am a fan of single strand wire but dislike having to rig a new leader when the single strand gets bent. The tieable looks good.

This fellow mentioned sending me a few rigs but every afternoon I eagerly check the mailbox but remain disappointed and am becoming despondent. Perhaps this spring the errant leaders will magically appear ;)
