Oh that hurts!  Impugning the size of my catch!  Actually, though, the Original Lipper Tool wasn't a knock off.  It was an extremely high quality tool.  I'm not saying it was better than the Boga (although Tackle Tour definitely thought so)   (You need to Login or Register
but at least as good and it had more features, particularly as I said, you could thingy it so that the grip was open and ready for lipping.  Plus you had the choice to let it swivel or lock it down.  But alas, as the old saying goes, all good things end up falling to the bottom of the lake.  Or maybe that's not an old saying, I might be confusing that with the old fisherman's curse ...  But if I can't replace it I guess I'll go with a Boga.
