Overview
A saltwater fishing plier with an integrated ceramic blade cutting slot built into the handle, an aluminum body, PTFE coated stainless jaws and tungsten carbide side cutters, sold with a sheath and coiled leash.
The ceramic blade is the feature that separates this from a standard plier, aimed at cutting braid cleanly without dulling like a metal edge does over time. Reviewers who switched from other braid pliers, including a well known competitor brand, call the cutting action noticeably smoother. The one recurring complaint is that the handle grip material can tear during heavy early use.
- Integrated ceramic blade cutter
- Aluminum body construction
- 2 in PTFE coated stainless jaws
- 36 in coiled leash with sheath
Who it's for
Saltwater anglers who regularly cut braided line and want a dedicated ceramic cutter built into their pliers rather than a separate line cutter. Less relevant to anglers who mainly fish light mono and don't need a braid specific edge.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who switched from other brands, including a well known competitor plier, say the ceramic blade cuts more smoothly and the pliers grip hooks well, with several rating them above other fishing pliers they have owned. One reviewer reported the grip material tore within the first hour of use and had to be wrapped with tape.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Ceramic blade cuts braid cleanly per reviewers
- Locks securely into included sheath
- PTFE coated jaws grip hooks and rings well
- Retractable cutter design reduces accidental cuts
- Grip material tore for one reviewer quickly
- Priced higher than basic fishing pliers
Performance notes
The ceramic blade cuts braid, mono and fluorocarbon, and reviewers confirm it stays sharp and smooth in use. The PTFE coated jaws grip hooks and split rings, the tungsten carbide side cutters handle heavier leader material, and the pliers lock into the included sheath, which clips to a belt via an 8 position swivel clip.
