Overbuilt doesn't need to mean oversized. The Trout Pliers are more robust than any pair of hemostats, but they're still sized for trout. They include a cutter in the jaw that is equally versatile with a unique design that allows anglers to make quick work of pinching heavy barbs, removing delicate dry flies, cutting braid, clipping light tippet, and everything in between. They come housed in a durable rubber holster and include a Quickdraw Tool Tether, making them easy to store on any pack, belt or even a pair of board shorts.
