Seemed logical to me.
awesome. Thanks Ken! thumb

Good deal! 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.

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!!! thumb

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!

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.

This is what I like to hear! 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.

Since you posted in the Bass fishing section, I'm assuming you're fishing for bass, and you don't need one for bass...imo
