KastKing Intimidator Fishing Pliers, Corrosion Resistant Polymer Coated Fishing Tools, Tungsten Carbide Cutters, Saltwater Resistant Fishing Gear

I started fishing again as an adult over 30 years ago, but it only recently occurred to me that a curved-nose pliers might be useful, especially so I could see what I'm doing trying to remove hooks from fish (duh!) These seem very sturdy but not too large or heavy. No flex, even at the curved tips. Also good for picking up small items out of tackle boxes, and crimping split shot. Don't know how long they'll last, but at this price it seems moot. (I'll still keep my hemostats for more delicate work.)

Great quality

This was a gift for our son-in-law, an avid fisherman. He was excited to use it and was familiar with the brand. After using it only once, he dropped it and thought it was lost forever. But he managed to find it before coming home. He loves it for removing hooks, cutting tangled line and told me how well it cuts braided line. He's had it for less than a year and I think he's really getting my money's worth.

The KastKing C: 5'' Accusplit pliers are the best I have found for small split rings. I have been experimenting with building cat toys because my F3 Savannah cats have destroyed every toy that is readily available. I am now using 50 lbs. monofilament line and 72 lbs. swivels because everything less fails in the first hour of play. However, I started down at 10 lbs. and the C:5 has been the best among the 6 different pliers I have tried. The shallower angle of the spike creates a larger separation on small rings. They are well made and the cutter is also effective.

I've so far only used these pliers to setup my Texas Rigs with split shot weights ill typically use for Central Texas bank or kayak bass fishing, However the length, weight and ease for pinching weights & cutting line (along with several other multi-functional features) has already impressed me. We'll see how they do in the field, but their length and sturdiness are going to make them my EDC pliers on all fishing outings should they continue to perform as expected. Extra tip - the Gary Yamamoto Kreatures pictured, along with a bullet weight on top & split shot on bottom, have been clutch for getting action I've discovered during my increased fishing trips during COVID. just buy the pliers if you're on the fence, they're good quality. I've pictured a writing pen next to the 9 inch pliers for perspective, since sometimes what 7 inches versus 9 inches looks like is hard for me to envision.

Good quality with smooth action and a nice weight to them. Easy to open and close and closes tight. Lots of on the tool extras for bending ect. Solid finish that looks good but most importantly it will not rust. Even using these in a downpour and throwing them back in the box they have no rust and still have smooth open and close action. For in the hand perfectly and I don’t have a giant mitt so anything that’s easy to use one handed is a must have. Overall super happy with these and have yet to find something they can’t do. Have a long front end on these so they fit perfectly in any fish mouth. Heavy yet controllable enough to pull hooks out without ding more damage to fish. Great for the toolbox too. Helpful on those jobs where short needle nose won’t reach. Easy to open and close in tight spaces.

The pliers work great thin enough for small hooks, I use them for freshwater. The gripping is also nice and comfortable if you use them a lot that’s important. Line clipping ability and the normal pliers are the features I use the most. IMPORTANT: note that these pliers are not entirely spring loaded, meaning when you close them they will not spring back open on their own, you have to pull them open. They don’t spring closed or open. This feature may be important to some people, as things like clipping line can be easier when the pliers open on their own. But for many, these pliers will be just fine I like them and for the price they are really good

Right way, you have to work them in and they never really feel smooth. I Even tried lubricating them with WD-40 and it made no difference. After using them a few times I noticed a gap in the tip. I have had them for about two weeks of normal use. I feel like gaps should not be forming. They are comfortable to hold and do still work. However I question the quality. I am concerned I might after to buy a different pair of pliers.
