Quick take

Self-opening steel pinchers designed for skinning catfish and clipping fins.

The Maybrun 03101 is a pair of self-opening skinning pliers for anglers who clean their own catfish. Hardened steel with a nickel finish gives the jaws a firm grip on the skin, and the same tool trims fins. At roughly 8 inches long and very light, it fits easily in a tackle bag or cleaning kit.
