Quick take
A 9-inch fishing plier with high-carbon steel jaws, non-slip handles and replaceable cutters for one-handed operation.
These 9-inch Ugly Stik fishing pliers pair high carbon steel jaws with a triggered reverse-grip handle, so the jaws spring open for one-handed use. The non-slip grip helps when your hands are wet, and the cutters are replaceable. A coiled lanyard and belt-clip sheath make them easy to keep on you from the dock to the boat.

Strengths
