Why?

 

I would rather use my lip grippers to prevent myself from getting horned.

I used the Fish grips for the first time . They are big and clumsy but work well .I did notice tissue damage when I used the locking clamp  , but most of the time I didnt have to lock down . On small bass my Leatherman is usually easier and faster .

I don't understand this argument, how is fish grips any worse than lipping a bass with your hand?  Yeah, if you try to lift a big bass horizontal with a boga you're going to rip it's jaw off, but you would do the same with your hand.  If anything I think it's better for the fish to use a boga, that way you won't drop it into the boat which is one of the worst things you can do to a fish.  Don't even get me started with these idiots that drag fish onto the bank....
