Piscifun Saltwater Fishing Pliers, Aluminum, Split Ring, Braid Cutter

This will be the only review you need to read on these pliers. Grab your popcorn and get cozy, I’m going to explain why I gave this product 5 stars, despite a few complaints. Summary: Great value and hold up to Saltwater and abuse. For the unabridged version, please see below. It occurred to me to write this because, after owning these for 18 months now, I finally noticed the cutters starting to weaken in cutting power. Specifically, they will only cut when I put the line to one end of the cutters and press down very hard. Although I was bummed, I was not shocked. As I’ll emphasize throughout, you will be hard-pressed to beat the value that these pliers offer at the price point they’re at. Luckily, I was able to quickly locate the replacement cutters on the Piscifun website for under $9 shipped to me in FL which I was very happy about. I fish about 200 days per year, primarily saltwater, I use them to cut braid, mono, fluoro, and steel, and they have held up nicely. When I originally purchased them there wasn’t a ton of pliers at this price point with credible reviews so I didn’t have much of a choice. Trust me, I looked because I was not a huge fan of the pliers not having a different kind of grip, you know, the ones with the rubber around the handles that look like they will stay put even when wet and under the pressure of a 30” Snook thrashing at the water line. However, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised that they stay put and won’t easily slip out of your hand. If you look up some of the highest end pliers out there you will notice they share similar design look so I guess it has worked for others as well and probably reduced material cost to be offered at this affordable price. While these did come with a sheath and lanyard, I prefer to have a sheath with a clip that simply clips over the top of your pant/short line. These require you to put your pants belt through the loop which requires more work to get them off and, moreover, I don’t typically like to wear belts when I’m fishing, but again, at this price point I was very surprised they even came with the sheath and lanyard and have held up like they did. I will mention that after most saltwater outings they were rinsed with freshwater. That is obviously a huge difference maker, but you should be doing that anyway. I’ve also used these on quite a few occasions for opening split rings to replace old trebles and they have performed as expected. You will also notice I gave these five stars. That is because I believe you must rate the product according to value, which is really hard to beat as, at the time of the review, we’re on sale for $19! Other pliers around the same price point have since entered the market. One that comes to mind are the Kast King pliers with the orange rubber-looking grips. A fishing buddy of mine actually purchased them very recently and they have held up great so far, and while I personally like the feel of those better, it all comes down to preference and I am near to tell you that these Piscifun pliers are a great value buy and if you’ve had your eye on these then give them a shot.

No complaints. Split-ring tips work well. They're light. The tether is nice when I'm shore fishing on rocks, so I don't lose them. They're strong enough to smash barbs, and the cutter is nice, but I don't use it much. My pack has a place for pliers so I don't use the sheath, but it's secure and the pliers won't fall out. And they look good too.

Needed to replace my older aluminum pliers. They worked ok but never felt good in the hand. I have large hands and my old pliers simply didn't fit right. in addition, they had smooth handles with little grip and I was having trouble keeping them in my hand. I'm very pleased with my new Piscifun aluminum fishing pliers! The finger molds in the handle and cool ergonomic design really helps in gripping the pliers. The Piscifun pliers feel comfortable and light in the hand. They give me the confidence of a secure grip which puts my mind at ease on rough water. It's a huge bonus the Piscifun pliers come with a very effective coiled lanyard and snap ring. The pliers come with a medium heavy sheath with a reinforced lanyard hole in the top and belt loop on the back. The lanyard on the pliers fits very nicely into the hole near the top of the sheath. Cool Idea and works great. I use a Velcro strap through the belt loop on the back of the sheath to attach the sheath to my seat pedestal. It's convenient, works great and keeps me from accidentally dropping my new pliers overboard. With my old pliers the carbide cutters dulled after a year and I could no longer cut braid with them. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Piscifun aluminum pliers had fully replaceable tungsten carbide cutters. It's about time what a great idea. I've found the tungsten carbide cutters on my piscifun pliers to be extremely sharp. The cutters work great for both braid and mono. The pliers are spring loaded which really helps with keeping the pliers open while holding on to a big fish with one hand. The pliers jaws have great grip and appear to be stainless steel. They have been excellent for spit rings and removing deep hooks. Overall I'm very pleased with these fishing pliers. I've decided to get a second pair for the back of the boat. Highly recommended.

My favorite pliers, the handle the abuse of being on the water, I’ve done fresh water and saltwater and these still look brand new, still function as they were brand new, even the piece that helps you cut the line hasn’t shown signs of rust, super ergonomic

A Decent pair of pliers well worth the price, I highly recommend them as I purchased one with the soft case and another with the hard case

I haven't used them yet but they look like what I'm looking for

Ive used these pliers quite a few times now. Initially bought them for my saltwater slow pitch jigs. The jigs is use attach to split rings. The pliers felt good in hand and initially I thought they were built pretty good. Using the split ring tip was a pain as it doesnt open it up enough without me forcing the jig opening against the ring. Braid cutters were excellent. Cuts braid like butter. This last weekend I used them as actual pliers to remove a hook from a fish. I got a sturdy grip on the hook and the fish flopped around a bit and ended up bending my pliers. After that happened I was unable to use the split ring tip again so I was stuck the rest of the trip using the same jig. Ended up having to throw them away because they bent so bad even the braid cutter was no longer useful. Not a bad set just not as durable as I had thought and the split ring tip could use some work.

They feel GREAT - Yes, they really do !! Comfortable in my hand 🖐 6'1" & solid, and in my wife's hand 🖐 5'4" small hand 🤗 we bought 2. They're as light as a feather. I squeezed hard with NO flexing unlike so many other pliers, the alloy really is solid. The cutters are precise, they're an "anvil" style - blade onto a flat surface, with a positive feel and they cut beautifully. Over time we will see how they continue. You are supposed to be able to get new blades, hence the inclusion of the allen key, but I don't know where to get them. I bought from Amazon, at a great price AU $. I don't see the need to get new blades anytime soon though. I would not cut wire trace, and they don't recommend that either. Overall, these feel & look good, I expect they will be fine for a weekend fisherman like me and will last for years. Tight Lines ⚟ Ted

Impeccable

No sirven se abren

Wanted to love this product so much. The tool itself is honestly awesome, but I had to modify my review from 5 starts to 3 as the cord just snapped off on the 3rd fishing trip I used it and can no longer be clipped to my vest or pants.

Leggerissime e di qualità superiore rispetto a tutte le altre pinze , le migliori che abbia mai trovato in commercio.
