10/4 Well, I guess to each his own! I do happen to own one and I am quite happy with it when it comes time to unhook that larger bluefish. I, like many of you, have seen some nasty wounds caused a moment of carelessness or happenstance that probably could have been avoided if that person had a Bogagrip. Since I fish a lot at night I feel it offers me some peace of mind. I think one person on this site had a long lasting wound caused by mistaking a bluefish for a striper while fishing at night. I figure if it saves my hand from a severe laceration even once, the $100 will have been cheap at the price.
