Lipper gripper sale

Got one of these for Christmas:

On sale for $35 & $10 shipping at http://www.evolutionproductsinc.com/proddetail.php?prod=LIP26S
Feels like a very durable tool. Can't wait to use it. Will report after using on big ling.

Good looking griper,, Does it have a lock pin, or is that a stop?  I like my Boga but it is heavy and worry about scrapeing the opening part on something and dumping the fish. Has'nt happend yet but a lock would be nice.                                                                                                              Nice gift. Happy New Year !!   Royg

I liked the one you have & been looking for one since then. This one ordinarily costs $99.95 & is comparable quality to your gripper. The black piece on the business end slides back & locks open (spring loaded). The button (where it says press) is the locking mechanism. The front piece slides back, locking in place. Press the button it snaps closed & locks in place. No way it will open until it's re-cocked. The set screw on the handle locks the scale. Good deal for $35. Think we'll be heading for Charleston on Monday & staying for a few days. I'll give you a call while we're there.
