Overview
Seven inch fishing pliers built from S45 steel with a polymer corrosion resistant coating, tungsten carbide cutters and serrated jaws for hook removal, crimping and line cutting.
Built around a rigid S45 steel body rather than aluminum, which trades some weight savings for stiffness. The integrated tuning slots are a feature not every pliers on the market offers, useful for adjusting bait action without a separate tool.
- S45 steel construction
- Polymer corrosion resistant coating
- Double injected ergonomic handle
- Integrated bait tuning slots
Who it's for
Fits anglers who want a heavier duty steel bodied pliers for freshwater or saltwater hook removal, crimping and line cutting, rather than a lightweight aluminum pair. Good for anyone who also wants built-in bait tuning slots in the same tool.
Pros and cons
- Rigid S45 steel body resists bending
- Tungsten carbide cutters for wire, cable and mono
- Built-in bait tuning slots
- Steel likely heavier than aluminum alternatives
Performance notes
The S45 steel resists bending under crimping pressure better than softer metals, and the polymer coating is meant to guard against saltwater corrosion over the life of the tool. Serrated jaws grip hooks while a separate crimping slot handles split shot.
