Overview
The KastKing Cutthroat is a 7 inch fishing plier made from 420 stainless steel with a polymer coating, tungsten carbide side cutters, and jaws built for hook removal, crimping, and knot work.
Despite Split Ring in the name, the jaws and cutters are built as a general-purpose fishing tool: serrated jaws for gripping hooks, crimping slots for split shot or steel leader work, and holes for cinching knots, sold in both straight nose and split ring nose versions. The 420 stainless construction is aimed at saltwater use specifically.
- 420 stainless steel body with protective polymer coating
- Tungsten carbide side cutters
- Crimping slots and knot-cinching holes in the jaws
- Sheath with belt clip and coiled lanyard included
Who it's for
Fits anglers who need one tool for hook removal, line cutting, and basic rigging in both freshwater and saltwater. Less useful for someone who only wants a compact wire cutter with no crimping or knot features.
Pros and cons
- 420 stainless steel with polymer coating for saltwater use
- Tungsten carbide cutters handle mono, fluorocarbon, and braid
- Multi-function jaws for crimping and knot-cinching
- Includes a molded sheath with belt clip and coiled lanyard
- Buyers must choose between straight nose or split ring nose versions
- Rubber handle grip may wear faster than the steel body
Performance notes
Tungsten carbide side cutters are positioned for cutting mono, fluorocarbon, or braid close to the knot without the line slipping past the blade, and the spring-loaded jaws allow one-handed operation for quick hook removal.
