i need a new one, and i'm more than likely gonna go with a Boga, probably gonna get the 15# and 30#..
I bought a econo grip last week and after a weekend of fishing discovered it is around one pound off, i got a 2 digital and they work great but want a new pinch spring scale
What does tOB recommend?

Haven't regretted my 15# Boga purchase at all. Just make sure to get the float attachment.

Boga. Well worth the investment

I don't need a scale, I know how big a fish is when I hoist it.
If it gains a few pounds afterwards . . .

so, you think it worth double the price as the competitors?
everybody i know says, "absolutely, no doubt about it".. i'm just asking..

It's one of my favorite fishing devices,seriously.
Got mine new on Ebay with the float for like $110

I have the 25lb rapala version of the boga grip. It cost $70 and is right on the money. Guarenteed to within 3% within the first year and you can have it officially tested/certified to weigh fish for IGFA, etc...
I use it most often to help handle bigger fish. Once it is locked onto a fishes lip, it isn't going anywhere. I have a digital scale if I absolutely want to know down to the decimal place what the weight is, but more often than not just stick with the rapala.

this is important, as i am currently trying to wrangle the Va state HSB record
and that's the thing, the 30# has half pound increments.. and i'm definitely gonna need the 15# for accuracy
probably just use the digitals for catfish and larger fish

Boga says they are the only ones who can get their scales certified.

We use Zebco De-Liars that Grandpaw used. Since we aren't in that tournament foolishness, they suit our purposes just fine.

Rapala Lock 'n Weigh - 60lb version
Click the link above. They claim their scale is:
I have the 20lb version. It has 1/4lb increments I think. I'll check tonight and edit if I'm wrong.

I'm not doubting you,just telling him what it says on Boga website.
Edit-IGFA will certify damn near any scale just as long as it's accurate for $30.

That's good to know. And yeah I knew you weren't calling me out, I just thought some documentation would help. I have never had mine certified, but have gotten into some large sac-au-lait lately and am thinking about it.

$4.99 all day, every day. Yeah I'm cheap.

We bought my dad a 30# Boga for Christmas and it's awesome. Great for pullin big reds out the water, and it will save your wrists if you get a stubborn fish.

I have a 30# boga and love it
Posted on 5/13/13 at 2:04 pm to bbvdd
