Titanium Fishing Pliers

Just in case anyone get "hooked", I carry a pair of small bolt cutters on the boat. I have seen videos where experienced Captains tie string around the hook and remove it. Not for me. I would rather cut the barb off.

I saw a used pair of Gomexus Titanium Fishing Pliers 7.5". Hooks are pretty hard and I know there are different sizes. Will Titanium pliers cut hooks or mostly just fishing line? Not sure if the brand name matters.

Gomexus Titanium Fishing Pliers 7.5 - I have a pair of these new to me this year and a more heavy duty pair too. I have no idea if they will cut a hook. As I think about it, I seem to remember that they should not be used to cut wire over 100lb test.



Look towards the bottom of the advertisement.

I guess it also depends on size of hook.

Oh, and after 2 seasons I really like them. Cutting still like the first day - braid up to 60lb, down to 10lb. Mono, flouro, etc. Always a clean cut. And - they come with replacement cutter blades. The only downside is that the beautiful leather sheath has a belt clip not a belt loop. I have never had mine come off the belt, but have heard of a few folks where it did.

I use Accurate fishing pliers. These are not suitable for cutting hooks. A good pair of heavy duty linesmen pliers, like Klein, or Channellock should do the job on most inshore hooks. The one drawback is they are not SS. They need to be kept in a watertight package. On the plus side you should carry a pair in your on board toolbox anyway. And they are a lot less $$ than “fishing or marine” pliers.

Those are nice. I like that they come with a replacement set of blades. I have a cheaper pair of pliers like that and I was looking up replacement blades.... I mine as well just get a new pair by the time I pay for the blades and S&H.

I dunno. I find it tough to justify the cost of any of the better titanium pliers. I spend plenty on unnecessary dumb fishing stuff, but just can't see it for a pair of pliers. Maybe someday, but not THIS day.

I bought these from Amazon last Spring ($25), used them all season and can't find a thing to complain about. And as my close friends know, I AM a complainer. If you don't want to spend a ton for a set of pliers, give these a try.

I have a pair of Van Staal and although they work really good, they are pure bling. There are many other pliers that will do just as good of a job but what the heck, a lot of my fishing gear is bling. I had to cut a 5/0 hook and I broke the cutting blades. I replaced them at a cost which was more than most good run of the mill pliers. Would I buy them again if I lost them? Absolutely.

I have a cheapo set of aluminum pliers I got at a local tackle shop. I was looking for something to cut hooks (under the heading of "just in case.) The small bolt cutters are good for that. But I figure if get fishing pliers that cut hooks, I'm killing 2 birds. I had someone who would sell a used set that was not too expensive. But figure I ask here. From the repies, they do not cut hooks.

You can’t get any more “bling” in the fishing pliers world then hanging a pair of Van Staal’s on your belt.

Bought these. Luckily haven't had to use them...yet

They seem a lot easier to carry than bolt cutters. I wonder if they work?

I think the old saying might apply to using the hook removal device………

“It’s not the arrow, it’s the Indian”

I'm sure you are correct. This is one of the tools you never hope to use. I went on Amazon to look at reviews. The say for treble hooks it does not work too good. Especially if you have two of the three hooks in you. It is expensive. But if you need it....

Like mentioned I have not used it but a member in my fishing club did and said it worked like a charm. Figured I’d post since it’s an alternative to expensive pliers. Tight lines.

I had a friend get hooked by two hooks of a single treble hook lure. The two were buried deep. At the time I only knew of the string method and previously only took out a single hook using that method. For the two hooks of the treble, I was able cut the one hook off with a pair of regular fishing pliers. Once separated, I pulled each hook out without too much effort. After watching the video, I would still try to separate the hooks and pull each out separately. With that said, we are back to needing a strong pair of cutters for heavier hooks.

I was on the site and found these three video's. He sticks hooks into himself.

What about a pair of Knipex cutters?

Those are similar to what I currently use. They look like my small bolt cutters. Hopefully I never have to use them. But it pays to be prepared.
