Gamakatsu Introduces Feature-Packed Stainless Steel Fishing Pliers
I consider a good pair of fishing pliers as essential equipment whenever I’m trying to catch something with rod and reel. Yet, often I’ve tried to make do with a multitool. Gamakatsu has introduced two heavy-duty models of fishing pliers made of stainless steel to ward off corrosion and rust. They could become the tool you reach for whether you’re an avid salt or freshwater angler.
Fishing Pliers With Precise Crimping Jaws
The Gamakatsu Stainless Steel Pliers have precise crimping jaws to fit various sizes of sleeves. The precision split ring feature on the needle nose tool makes changing or replacing split rings easy and averts broken nails. The multi-tasking jaws on the pliers are able to cut braid, mono or fluorocarbon, and also feature a PTFE coating to aid against corrosion and rust.
The handles feature a non-slip grip that helps you hold on during wet conditions. Included is a lanyard and sheath so the pliers are right where you need them. I like that feature, especially when fishing from a canoe or kayak when dropping things overboard is a greater risk. The Gamakatsu pliers feature blue colored handles and are available in 6-inch and 7-inch lengths. For more information, go to www.gamakatsu.com.
