[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5127843, member: 19427"] I think I misread the thread. I was confused by the 40lb increment but realize now it was a different scale than the boga you were referencing. [USER=2210]@CATCHDAWG[/USER] i really haven’t given it any thought. I think I paid 225$ for them and kept one on each boat in FL. I actually didn’t use them to weigh fish. The 60lb has the bigger clasp which fits over a tarpon’s and a jewfish’s lower jaw. They are in a box somewhere in my garage. Stay in touch and when I come across them I’ll send one your way. On a different note, I did spend a summer trying to beat the record snook and used the bogas to weigh the fish but always used a sling that the fish sat in to support the weight of the fish. I have read some publications claiming that hanging a large fish like a snook or striper by the lower jaw is harmful to the fish. I have no idea if it’s true but used the sling just in case. There is one of those slings in the same box as the bogas if either of you would like it. [/QUOTE]
