Quick take
Complete five-piece tool kit combining hook removal, fish handling, measurement, and line cutting in stainless steel.
This five-piece XBLACK kit pairs stainless-steel pliers, 6.4 inches long and 4.2 ounces, with a trigger lip gripper at 7.5 inches, a hook remover at 7.2 inches, a folding line snip with a 26-inch retractor, and a digital scale that reads to 110 pounds in pounds, ounces or kilograms. The pliers cut wire, crimp leads and split rings, and the gripper's EVA handle and adjustable wrist strap keep it in hand and stop it from getting lost. The scale takes two AAA batteries that are not in the box. It suits an angler who wants every landing and unhooking tool in one pouch for fresh or salt water.
