Pliers...the Struggle is Real

If you fish you know how invaluable a great pair of pliers can be. You probably also know how difficult it is to find a pair that will hold up to the extremely harsh saltwater. We have used numerous different pliers and I believe we have finally found not only a great, lightweight pair of pliers that will stand up to saltwater use, but also one that at a price of $25.99 will not break your budget!

Lew's Aluminum Pliers are made up of aircraft quality aluminum handles with stainless steel lined jaws, tempered to 46+ degrees. All of this results in a strong, yet very lightweight pair of pliers. The 6.5" plier has a soft nylon sheath with a stainless steel belt clip and coiled lanyard. The cutters in the back of the jaw are great with cutting mono, fluorocarbon and so far even cut braid quite well. I especially like the clip on the back of the sheath, it allows you to hook it right on your pocket (where I prefer it) or on your belt. They are so lightweight, you don't even feel them on your side.

If you're in the market for some new pliers, I highly suggest picking up a pair, you will not be disappointed!

P.S. - Giving your pliers a rinse under warm water after each trip will keep them looking and performing like new for a very long time!
