Quick take
The Rapala RFCP-7 is a 7 1/2 inch stainless steel forceps for pulling hooks and handling rigging on the water. Built-in scissors trim line and stray knot ends, and the locking handles let you hold a grip hands-free. Oversized thumb holes with soft-grip handles and an adjustable lanyard keep it easy to hold and close at hand.
