Off the Hook

Dan, tomorrow I will be having it surgically attached. Just incase.

Could be a little uncomfortable sleeping, oh well as long as I don't
lose it.

Regards,
John

I just got back from Bass Pro. WOW what a store. I could have spent a
month
in there. I got the Boga Grip 30 lb model and all I can say is the
Berkley one
is a POS compared to this thing. Yeah it was a little pricey at $182.29
CDN
after tax but I'm happy just the same.

Thanks Steve.

John,
At that price I would secure it with a stout chain. A little pricey
if it goes overboard attached to a Northern or Muskie.

I remember seeing this picture last week. There was a question about it
regarding
what type it was e.g. Pickrel, Pike or Red Fin. It looks like it's a
little better then the
Rapala one. I'm having a tough time locating a Boga Grip here. There
are every
other type but no one seems to carry the Boga grip. I think I will have
to settle
with a Rapala grip if I can't locate one.

I'm located in Toronto, Ontario. If you know of a place in Toronto that
carries
them I would love to know.

John,

Both BassPro and Cabela's carry them in both the catalog and online. If you
live in Toronto, you should have a BassPro OutdoorWorld where you can get
one.

Do you ever drive down a road and spot a smashed car charger for a cell
phone. Folks probably put them on their car tops and forget about them.
Anyway, I've picked up several, clipped off the plug and charger, and then
made a durable lanyard out of the coiled cable.

Onto one end I slip a piece of vinyl shrink tubing followed by an inch-long
piece of copper tubing. Then I double over the end, insert it into the
copper tube and crimp it shut. Last, I tug the shrink tubing over the copper
and heat it so that it snugs everything into place. On the loop I've formed,
I'll add a key ring, to which I can attach pliers, kill switch, keys, or
whatever.

When I repeat the process on the other end, I slip a clip over the cord
before doubling it over to form the loop. What I end up with is a black,
rubber-coated, extremely durable cable that I can clip to my belt, PFD, or
boat seat. Fully extended, it provides about five or six feet of reach.
