Overview
A compact 5-in-1 fishing tool combining line cutters, crimpers, split ring pliers and a hook remover in an aluminum body weighing about 1oz. It ships with a 33.5 inch retractor so it can clip to a vest, belt or tackle bag.
FLISSA builds this around portability rather than raw leverage, at just 3.4 by 1.8 inches with a finger hole so it can hang ready on one hand while tying knots. The tungsten carbide cutters draw praise for cutting braid and fluorocarbon cleanly, but the small frame is also its limiting factor: several reviewers found the split ring function struggles beyond light duty, and the tips can mar quickly.
- 5 functions: cut, crimp, open split rings, dehook
- Aluminum body, about 1oz
- 33.5 inch nylon retractor included
- 3.4 x 1.8 inch compact size
Who it's for
Best suited to anglers who want a lightweight clip-on tool for cutting line and occasional hook removal on small to mid sized fish. It is not a fit for anyone planning to lean on it heavily for split ring work or needing a firm grip on larger, moving fish.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers like the build quality, the tungsten carbide cutting blades and the retractor for keeping it within reach, calling it compact and good value. The main complaints are limited leverage on larger or actively moving fish, a split ring function that wears out fast, and a carbide cutter that one buyer says keeps the pliers from closing all the way.

- Tungsten carbide blades cut cleanly
- Retractor keeps it clipped and within reach
