Quick take
A seven-inch straight stainless steel forceps for precise hook removal without damaging fish or your hands.
This is a 7-inch straight forceps in stainless steel, a long-reach tool for getting a grip on a hook from the angler's side of the fish. It measures about 7 by 3 inches and under a third of an inch thick, and weighs roughly 0.3 ounces, so it rides easily in a tackle box or vest pocket. Anglers use pliers like this to back out a hook and handle fish with less fumbling.
Best for
- Removing treble hooks from delicate fish

Skip if

- You fish with large saltwater hooks in fighting fish
Strengths

- Straight design allows precise placement
Trade-offs
- Straight forceps cannot reach deeply hooked fish as well as angled cutters
- Surgical forceps are not designed for cutting wire or bone
- Long, thin profile breaks if bent on large hooks
