Can't help mate. They don't look to good for the catch and release though.

They were really good on things with spikes...( got a fin under a fingernail once)..the main thing about them is all those years and no rust and worked perfect...migh have to go to an old towel....

try some berkley lip grippers,
just as easy to use when you get used to them and are a lot better for catch and release
I have two "built in" they are called hands.

the Bogas are great and will last a lifetime, however dont discount the berkleys,
just give them a good coat of lanox/inox prior to use and wash under warm water after use, with an occasional re inox.
they really are the best way to handle fish as you dont run the risk of getting spined by fish or even bitten and it keeps them in pristine condition if your doing catch and release.
if your after a good landing net go down to that big boating camping fishing place, and have a look at the environet copies. At the moment they are all $20.
Cant go wrong with that,
food for thought anyways,
