Title: Re: Aluminum pliers
Post by mastertangler on Dec 4th, 2010 at 4:32am
Good find Kerry! P-line makes good stuff. The aluminum pliers are the cats meow as they are amazingly light for such a strong tool. I also like the carbide cutters as I often make my own wire leaders with single strand wire and detest most pre-made leaders.

I think you are on the wrong track with the boga grip though as I believe it has no peer. What's so superior about the boga is that the fish can spin and thrash all it wants. Your wrist never moves and is not torqued at all. The bottom half of the tool is free spinning. Very handy when you handle big ones. I guess if you mostly catch teenie ones you can get by with knock offs. (OK, I'm being a wise guy but I'm doing it with a smile on my face ;))
