Overview
A 9 inch saltwater fishing plier from Booms Fishing (model BAFTXW1090B1U) built around slender needle nose jaws for deep hook removal and catch and release work, with built in line cutters, a split ring opener, and a crimper folded into one tool.
The jaws are the point of this tool: long and tapered so they reach past a hook set deep in a fish's mouth without doing extra damage on the way in. Booms adds the extras anglers usually carry separately, a mono and fluorocarbon cutter, a split ring opener, and a lure tuning slot, so one plier covers hook removal and rigging. PTFE coated carbon steel and a molded sheath with coiled lanyard are aimed at saltwater use where corrosion and losing gear overboard are the real risks.
- 9 inch needle nose jaws for deep hook sets
- Built in mono and fluorocarbon line cutters
- PTFE coated carbon steel construction
- Coiled lanyard with molded sheath included
Who it's for
Anglers who practice catch and release and need a plier that can reach a swallowed hook without tearing the fish up, plus anyone who wants line cutting, split ring work, and hook removal in a single sheathed tool instead of three.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Long tapered jaws suited to deep hook removal
- Line cutter, split ring opener, crimper in one tool
- Sheath and coiled lanyard for on boat carry
- No owner reviews yet to confirm long-term corrosion resistance
- Compact size limits leverage on very stiff split rings
Performance notes
The tapered jaw geometry is what separates a hook removal plier from a general fishing plier, giving it the reach to get past the hook eye on a deep set while the non slip grip keeps the fish steady. PTFE coating on carbon steel is a common saltwater treatment meant to slow rust where paint or plain plating would wear through fast. The coiled lanyard and molded sheath keep the tool clipped on and out of the way between uses rather than loose in a tackle bag.
