Boga grip victim

[AndyS]

I hate those BOGUS GRIPS with a passion. Closest I ever came to anything like that was my very old small rusted Zebco De-Liar in the bottom of my tackle box when I was 8 years old. What ever happened to holding fish ?? I won't use one even though I had a bluefish slip on me and snapped a dorsal fin spike off into my hand, had to go to the Dr. to get it removed. Amazing what can be done with a landing net and The1 proves it time and time again. I just started using a net for quality photos. I see people lip hanging bluegills and 10 inch slime darts off these things, C'MON !!!
