timing - Yes, it's a Boga. It is very secure when holding a fish. I've had the knockoffs before. You get what you pay for in this case. The Boga is expensive but it's high quality.
Appreciate the reply and Boga info.
Most people that fish from my boat, including less frequent casual guests, can usually hold a striper by hand ok.
Fluke, blues, etc some times an issue, so thinking a boga could be great for grip and pic. Any advise on which model for this application - 30lb easier way to go?
any reason not to get the 60lb? do they both hold any given weight fish equally well and it's just a matter of the scale range?
