Stainless Steel Straight Nose Cutting Pliers FT91013 - 5.5" Split Ring Fishing Pliers for Wire Stripping & Crimping

Actually, what makes these worth having is they handle three jobs on the water—split rings, wire, crimping—without needing to swap tools, and they're built for saltwater so you won't see rust after a season. The design has an arched shaft that gives you more twisting force than a straight pair would, which basically makes split ring work less frustrating.

You're looking at 5.5 inches of stainles steel with a fine polished blade suface (usually sharp enough for light wire and line) and PVC dipped handles that stay grippy when wet. Teh stripping notch works for most fishing wire gauges, though we've found it's better for single-strand than braided. 2-4 weeks for standerd orders, but we usually have stock.

Heavy-duty construction is claim, but it's not for hacking through heavy gauge steel or salt-crusted hardware—keep it to tackle maintenance and it'll last. Most buyers go with this over the cheaper plated versions because the stainless holds up without pitting in marine environments, something you learn the hard way.

Another detail: the arched shaft design isn't just for —it also gives you a bit more clearance when working inside tight terminal tackle areas. Fine polished surface reduces friction during cuts, which matters when you're doing repetitive crimps on leader wire.

Package comes as a single unit, no extras, and the MOQ is typically 50 pairs or so for wholesale. Tight machining on the joint, so there's less wobble than on similar priced brands—handy when you're trying to split a ring one-handed.

Ergonomic handle design is a phrase we use casually, but the dipped PVC does soften grip fatigue over a long day of tying rigs. Anyway, the 5.5-inch size is compact enough for a vest pocket but long enough for solid on #2 split rings.
