I picked up a berkley 30# gripper for about $30.00
two weeks ago. It worked real nice for small fish like bass, walleye, & 8 - 15 lb muskies, I even landed a 19.5 lb
fish with it last week, but yesterday a 22.5 lb fish destroyed the gripper ( I almost lost the fish) it could
not take the thrashing of a muskie like that!
the berkley gripper is a #$% toy!
and the net still comes in real handy!
I found a rapala 60 lb. rated gripper this afternoon
at boat us for $90.00 that seems a lot more sturdy than the berkley (time will tell)
if this does not work, I will have to go to bps for a boga grip ($270.00 ouch)
the fishing has been good to us on the south shore
this week in 12 to 14 ft of water, up on top
(2 oz. 20 ft.) wileys & masons are hot with the boat rods producing the most fish. speeds of 3.5 to 4.2 mph.
we went 5 for 5 sat (noon to 8pm).
and 4 for 5 (8 am to noon) on sunday.
canadian waters had no floating weeds (nice!!)
happy trolling
