Quick take
Eight-inch pliers with split shot crimper, lure tuning tool and side cutters for tackle maintenance.
This 8 1/2 inch carbon steel plier has a nickel-plated finish and co-molded soft grips with a double leaf spring. It combines a split shot crimper, a lure tuning tool and light-duty side cutters, so one tool covers hook removal, weighting a rig and tweaking a lure's swim. A good fit for an angler who wants a single everyday plier in the tackle bag.
