Removing hooks can sometimes be difficult, but the ergonomic design of the Pistol Grip Pliers prevents the handles from getting in the way, making it an extremely easy task. The off-set handles also allow you to gain additional leverage when necessary. The pliers have a convenient split ring tool, so it’s easy to open split rings, quickly remove hooks or replace the treble hook on your favorite lure. These pliers are equipped with super tough carbide line cutters and a crimper tool. A lanyard and sheath are included for fast access when needed.
