Quick take
A 6.5 in stainless steel forceps with locking ratchet for gripping and removing hooks from fish.
A 6.5-inch pair of forged stainless steel forceps with a curved tip, made for backing hooks out of a fish's mouth. A locking ratchet grip holds the hook or other small tackle while you work, and the black handle has a non-slip coating for wet hands. It weighs about 0.04 kg, so it clips easily to a vest or tackle bag.
Best for
- Removing hooks from small to mid-size fish
- Tight spaces and shallow-hooked catches
- Saltwater fishing and marine use
Skip if
- You need pliers for line cutting and crimping
- You fish for large predators that require heavy tools
Strengths
- Stainless steel forged construction resists rust and corrosion
- Locking ratchet clamp grips securely around the hook shank
- Non-slip handle remains grippy even with wet hands
Trade-offs
- Forceps work best on hooks held in the lip or jaw, not deep throat hooks
- The ratchet locking mechanism is slower than quick-release pliers
- At 60g it is limited to fish where the hook does not need heavy extraction
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
