Leapin', I've been using my 15lb. size Boga for about three years now with most of it's use in saltwater and all I can say is that it is still in perfect condition with the only maintenance being that I've rinsed it with freshwater after every use. These things are built to last. I also like the fact that you can get it I.G.F.A. certified. IMO all other grips I've seen out there don't seem worth getting. Tight lines.
