Overview
Aluminum bodied fishing pliers with a Teflon coating and molybdenum vanadium cutting jaws, built for saltwater and freshwater use. Ships with a coil lanyard and carabiner so anglers can clip them to a vest or belt.
The plier head is riveted rather than pinned, which the maker says keeps the jaws from developing play after repeated use, a common failure point on cheaper aluminum pliers. The wire cutter uses molybdenum vanadium blades built to cut braid and mono close to the knot.
- Aircraft aluminum construction with precision casting
- Ergonomic trigger handle shaped for tight spaces
- Double reinforced spring reduces hand fatigue
- Rated by the maker for saltwater and freshwater use
Who it's for
Anglers who fish saltwater or brackish water and want a lightweight, corrosion resistant pliers and cutter combo they can clip on and forget about between trips. Less suited to anyone who mainly needs a heavy duty crimping or split ring tool.
Pros and cons
- Teflon coated aluminum body resists salt corrosion
- Carbide and molybdenum vanadium cutter for tag ends
- Riveted head designed to resist loosening over time
- Includes coil lanyard and carabiner for attaching to gear
- No overall closed length is listed beyond the cutter specs
Performance notes
The cutter pairs a tungsten carbide edge with molybdenum vanadium blades set behind a raised surface so the line sits in the cutting zone rather than slipping past it. The plier head is triple riveted, which the manufacturer says keeps the jaws aligned and tight instead of developing wobble after repeated opening and closing.
