BITE Professional Aluminum Saltwater Fishing Pliers -Spring Loaded-Rubber Insert Grips-Tungsten Carbide Cutters-with a Set of Replacement Carbide Cutters & Premium Clip Sheath

Unless you're prepared to spend $3xx.xx on titanium fishing pliers, you're left with dozens of choices to wade through in the sub-$100 range. Having tried, and regretted trying, some "cheapos", I read reviews and forums to help determine my best option for combining features, performance and value. Utimately, I still had to take a leap of faith between a dozen or so contenders and chose these pliers from BFT because of their rubber-insert grips. I lucked out - this is a well-designed and finely crafted tool! The quality of construction is excellent with no rough edges. The finish is consistent and flawless. The tension screw adjusts with precision and the jaws operate smoothly. The cutters meet squarely and cut effectively (I even received an extra set of replacement cutters!). The rubber inserts are wonderful for improving grip without feeling mushy. Overall, while the pliers are light weight, there is a heft and solid feeling to them. Having owned them for less than a month, I can't comment on corrosion resistance or longevity (these were purchased for salt water fishing), but I do know that I'm impressed enough already by them that I'm getting another pair for use around the house.

I've had my Bite pliers for a couple of months now. Only use around salt water as we are on the Gulf. Love them! I wash with Salt Away after each time out and have had ZERO rust issues so far. Light weight and easy to use. I agree with some of the sheath comments... but, I just go under the swivel clip with my belt and they stay in place fine. Would like to buy some extra cutters but cannot find where to buy. If anyone knows, please let me know. Would highly recommend these pliers!!!

These pliers are a real step up from previous versions. I'm a kayak fisherman in both fresh and salt water and the anodized aluminum finish and construction will hold up well. The side cutter are useful for cutting tie wraps on crab traps. When the cutters are within the jaws they don't work as well. The included sheath is of nylon and can be strapped to the H-rail of the kayak easily. This also comes with a tether so they don't fall overboard.

Received my Pliers and put it through its paces immediately on an ocean fishing trip to San Miguel Island off California. I love the spring loading which makes them a lot easier to use and the cutter worked fantastic.... easily cutting thin diameter 40 pound hollow braid with one attempt! I would definitely buy these again in the future!

Shipping was super fast no issues, the pliers are sturdy and sharp looking hope they hold up to saltwater use, great feel in the hand only reason i didnt give 5 stars is the pliers i recieved are tight opening and closing. Im hoping with use they will loosen up. Otherwise very nice item and looking forward to years of use in my saltwater fishing outings.

These are nice pliers. They feel nice in your hand and the rubber grips are sticky enough to make me confident they won't fly out of my hand, if they would the supplied lanyard should prevent them from finding a new home at the bottom of the river. I only tried the cutters on 14lb mono so far but they cut like butter.

I've been using an old pair of needle-nose pliers for years, working to keep them from getting too rusty as best I could. I was out on a friend's boat and he had a pair of these aluminum pliers and I was truly impressed. Two years old and hardly looked used, even though we are both avid fishermen in salt water. I ordered a pair as soon as I got home (after processing the halibut :) and have not been disappointed. I plan to get another pair to give as a gift to relatives who also fish in the ocean. A little pricey, but they do the job better than trying to keep a regular pair of needle-nose alive.

I purchased a set of these pliers a year ago and they're awesome! I'm a deep see kayak fisherman in Hawaii and these pliers have withstood at least 60x 12hour days of the most brutal conditions any pliers would ever travel with a fisherman. I keep them on the front of my seat in the holder and the are constantly splashed and sprayed with saltwater. At the end of the, day I just rince them off with freshwater and a couple times I sprayed the hinge off with corrosion block. They still look brand new!
