Shelby,
To answer your ?? About IGFA, I called Boga Grip direct and they told me yes. They are certified for IGFA World Record status but if you caught a pending world record the IGFA would still want you to submit your scale to verify that it was still in calibration before they would certify the catch. Seemed logical to me.
awesome. Thanks Ken!

I've pretty much convinced my self it's worth the money, now it's if I want the 30 or the 15, I'll probably end up with 15 because 95% of the fish I'm after wont weigh over 15, plus it's lighter and smaller.

I have the 30 lbs. very accurate and worth every cent. You can actually have them sent off and get certified.

Blake, in case you don't know. The 30lb. and 60lb. Bogas weigh in 1/2 pound increments. The 15lb. model weighs in 1/4 lb. increments.
That's why I use the 15lb. for bass fishing.

That's why I use the 15lb. for bass fishing. Completely agree I like the 1/4 lb increments for Bass as well and if I ever catch one that maxes out the 15 pounds I'll find another scale somewhere for sure!!!

Yeah I knew they weigh in 1/4 lb increments which is why I liked it better also. Like y'all stated, if I catch a bass or a trout that bottoms out a 15lb boga, I won't be to upset that I only bought the 15lber haha!

That's why I use the 15lb. for bass fishing. Mine weighs in 1/4's. Maybe I have the 15 instead of the 30. Who knows!

I have a 30 that is over 10 years old, held countless fish over 100lbs been used and abused in saltwater and it is still right on the money as far as weight and works like is brand new. Yes they are expensive but they will outlast and outwork anything else...quality has a price. Boga Grips are one product that does live up to the name.

I'll gladly pay the 115 dollars for something of that quality. I've yet to find one bad review on them, so theres no doubt I think that it will be worth it now.
