Know before you buy
The serrated section provides a secure, non-slip grip for removing stubborn hooks, while the smooth section allows you to crush barbs or handle delicate flies without damaging the materials.
Yes, they are constructed from surgical-quality stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance, though we always recommend rinsing them with fresh water after use in saltwater environments.
The locking mechanism allows you to clamp the forceps onto a hook or object and keep them closed hands-free, which is particularly helpful when you need to stabilize a fish or manipulate a hook without maintaining constant pressure.
This length is a versatile, mid-sized option that works well for most trout and panfish applications, offering enough leverage for hook removal while remaining compact enough to easily stow in a vest or pack.
The Comfy Grip handles feature a specialized coating that provides a softer, ergonomic surface, which reduces hand fatigue and prevents slipping, especially when your hands are wet or cold.
