Guys and gals,
Here is a sweet deal. This is the first time I have seen this type of specialty item at such a reasonable price. My pair was over double this price. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

They are super light yet very strong. Personally I can't imagine messing with fish without them. Between the boga and these pliers I handle fish.......they don't handle me. 

Good find Kerry! P-line makes good stuff. The aluminum pliers are the cats meow as they are amazingly light for such a strong tool. I also like the carbide cutters as I often make my own wire leaders with single strand wire and detest most pre-made leaders.

I think you are on the wrong track with the boga grip though as I believe it has no peer. What's so superior about the boga is that the fish can spin and thrash all it wants. Your wrist never moves and is not torqued at all. The bottom half of the tool is free spinning. Very handy when you handle big ones. I guess if you mostly catch teenie ones you can get by with knock offs. (OK, I'm being a wise guy but I'm doing it with a smile on my face )

You know Kerry I never really gave other tools a fair evaluation. They always just sort of "looked" cheesy as compared to a boga. And I would add that for many the price point is a consideration especially if fishing isn't at the top of your list of recreational pursuits.

Thanks for broadening my perspective.

If you do go for a boga a few words. It's more or less bulletproof. Originally designed as a salt water tool for use in salt water which is very harsh on metals in particular. Mine have held up very well. In fact they still look like new. I would advise keeping it out of any sand though.

I have 2 sizes. I originally purchased the larger size (weighs fish IFGA certified to 30lbs) just for backcountry salt water fishing but found it so pleasing I started taking it on canoe trips and bringing it ALL the time on any fishing trip. The disadvantage of the larger model is that it is heavy.

SOoooo, on impulse I picked up the smaller model which is quite a bit lighter (probably almost 1/2). It weighs fish to 15lbs. The big disadvantage with the smaller one as compared to the larger one is that it's also shorter and puts you in closer contact to the business end of your catch. In spite of that I will likely be bringing the smaller one on future canoe trips.

Along the thwart in front of me in my solo I have a shock cord which I use to hold my map case so it doesn't blow away. It is on this shock cord that I hang my boga. Always handy. On portages I clip it on the outside of my fishing pack which has a "D" ring. Bada-bing. Quick and easy.

Hold on to that bad boy and don't let it get away from you. I have looked at a few pike and decided I wasn't going to bring them in the boat with me boga or not and paddled to shore and got out to handle them.
