Well, I'm gonna go against the flow here and say that I really like my Boga grip. It only cost me $85 for the 30# version through the "Flyfishing Network" http://www.flyfishingnetwork.com (if you have an account). I bought it to use on my canoe, fly-fishing for schoolies. Its a great way to get a grip on fish, save your thumbs, and prevent you from using the fly to hold the fish until you get a better grip. I have also used it a lot from the beach, and just clip it at waist level on the inside of my waders, so it is easy to grab. I sometimes fish 3-4 days a week, and my thumbs would get really chewed up from all the schoolies I was catching..
Just my $85.02
