The Lippa4life is a pliers-type tool that handles with the ease and familiarity of a scissors.  When you bring a fish in simply bring the spring loaded jaws to the fish's mouth and pinch the pliers closed.  The Lippa does a really great job controlling large fish with the natural ergonomic design that fits your hand perfectly!  

The Lippa also features jaws that do not close all the way.  When fully compressed the jaws have a 1/8" gap that keep the tool from puncturing the skin.  The jaws are also outfitted with over-sized cylindrical tips that increase surface contact for a better hold. 

Lippa's are spring-loaded so there is no need to fumble trying to get the jaws ready for a fish.  The spring has just the right amount of tension so that it compresses easily when in a holster and yet provides plenty of pressure to keep the jaws wide when positioning for a grip. 

Lippa's can be used with or without gloves and the handle will accommodate both large and small hands.  The four finger loop works great for added control and if you are wearing gloves or if you have large hands then you can grip the outside of the loop while placing two fingers on the inside for added control.   

Lippa's also feature a leash hole that can double as a fly tightener.  Simple slip the hook point through the hole and tighten the knot down with the added pressure.  

In Sum: After using the Lippa4life I will never go back to the Boga Grip!  The Lippa has a familiar feel to it given its likeness to a scissors and works great for controlling fish while the hook is being removed.  The simplicity and design of the tool ensures a lifetime of use and the machined aluminum body can be used in both fresh and saltwater.  If you are looking for a safe and effective tool to control fish once at hand or if you are simply tired of fumbling with the awkward design of the Boga Grip, then without hesitation I fully recommend the Lippa4life!  The Lippa is available in a number of colors and can be ordered in aluminum or special blend (1/3 the price).
