You can find all different kinds of floats at Academy.

Does it measure accurately? Also can't get a bogus grip igfa certified.

They make some neat ones, I got on from LCT for 3 bucks but its plain

huntin fool 12-26-2009 09:31 PM

mine for christmas is pretty acurate so far. Just need to get a float.

:*****:

Let's pretend it's a gas pump. It's calibrated to make sure the "gallons" match up with the "dollars". It's the same thing with the Boga. They just make sure it's weighing accurately. I just hooked the two I have to a gallon of paint and there was an ounce or two difference in what the two Bogas weighed.

The BogaGrip’s accurate and durable scales can be certified by IGFA for your potential world record catches.

If you do go buy a float at Academy or somewhere, check to make sure it holds up the Boga. First one I tried wasn't big enought to keep it up!!!!!!

SKnox 12-27-2009 10:34 PM

Thanks!!!!

YES!! I bought a float from academy...i think it was for a fish stringer, put it on and used it on the water but one day I dropped it in my buddies pool and it sank straight to the bottom...
