3Bs Tournament Prizes:

Sage Launch Rod

Sage Launch 8wt Outfit

Sage sez: "Developing G5 Technology clearly demonstrated that the key to better casting is the ability to feel the rod load. With our Launch Series rods, we applied what we've learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means Launch Series rods provide exceptional line connection or feel, allowing anglers to cast better and more easily."

"Launch Series rods are available separately or in line weights 5, 6 and 8 as part of a complete, perfectly balanced outfit, including a Sage 1600 Series reel, RIO floating line, backing and leader, plus a protective rod/reel case."

  • Rod Weight (oz): 3 15/16

The matching reel for the 8wt rod is the Sage 1680

Eastaboga Boga grip

Eastaboga Boga Grip
Eastaboga sez: "The BogaGrip is a high-quality fish landing, handling and weighing tool. It handles fish by encompassing the fish's lower jawbone and works on most species of fish. The BogaGrip features easy, one-hand operation and will accurately weigh fish. The BogaGrip is very saltwater resistant. It is ideal for the wade and bank fisherman, as it clips nicely to a fisherman's apparel; but it is equally at home in a boat. The BogaGrip is built to handle fish weighing double its scale capacity."

The BogaGrip is available in three models:

  • Model 315: The scale weighs fish up to15 pounds in 1/4-pound increments. It is 9 inches long and weighs 9 ounces.
  • Model 130: The scale weighs fish up to 30 pounds in 1/2-pound increments. It is 10 3/4 inches long and weighs 1 pound.
  • Model 260: The scale weighs fish up to 60 pounds in 1/2-pound increments. It is 15 inches long and weighs 1 1/2 pounds.

The BogaGrip is designed to promote "catch and release fishing," as it will land, handle, and weigh fish quickly and simultaneously without injury to the fish. It also affords an easy opportunity to inspect and take pictures of the fish. Since it doesn't wipe off the protective slime nor puncture the fish, and allows the fish to be quickly returned to the water, fish that are handled and released using the BogaGrip should be more likely to survive.
