KastKing Cutthroat 7 inch Fishing Split Ring Pliers, 420 Stainless Steel Fishing Tools, Saltwater Resistant Fishing Gear, Tungsten Carbide Cutters

Well made. I used these for the first time this morning and they work great.

The Cutthroat Straight Pliers are well make and thought went into their design. They are lightweight and have a nice grippy handle. The needle nose plier end works great for removing small hooks in Kokanee and trout. I really like the line cutter that stands alone on the pliers. It is very easy to cut leaders and excess line on knots and loops. I like the hole in the jaw where you can run a hook through and use the pliers to cinch down on a knot you tied onto the hook to make a leader. The plier storage case clips onto your belt and the pliers have a safety cord you can clip onto a belt loop. The only thing I did not like on the belt plier case was that it rotated on the belt loop attachment and when you went to put the pliers back into the case after use it may have spun sideways or upside down and you would have to rotate the case right side up to get the pliers back into it. I would certainly buy the pliers again.

Goodbye Rapala clippers! Hello KastKing! These pliers are awesome for anybody new or experienced in fishing. They make everything from removing hooks to cutting line a breeze. I do at least 75% of my fishing out of a kayak, so space is at a premium. The holster is a nice touch, and the clip rotates with preset locking points so it’s easy to clip onto a bag, belt, pocket, etc. I clipped my carabiner right to the eyelet in the holster so they can’t wander away also. THEY CUT BRAIDED LINE! Finally, I can throw my cheap Rapala toe-nail clippers in the junk drawer. I’m typically using 30-50 lb braid with a fleuro leader, and it’s been a nightmare trying to find something that cleanly cuts the braided line. They feel well-made and very sturdy in the hand. I seriously doubt that I’ll be needing any replacements or repairs, but if they do, KastKing has an awesome warranty on all of their products. I will definitely buy from them again!

The polymer style of case that comes with the red pliers does not rotate. Pay attention to that if you want to carry your pliers sideways- you can’t do it with the plastic sheath. Otherwise these pliers are kind of what you expect for the price. Not bad, not amazing, but okay value.

These pliers are awesome. They are sturdy and reliable when I’m fishing from my kayak. I never had to worry about loosing them.

Beginner Kayak fisherman always ask what should I buy first for my new kayaking adventures. 1. Buy a really good and comfortable life jacket. One you will wear for those 14 hour days on the water. Winter fishing they keep you warmer and help insulate but in the summer not so much but will give you a fighting chance if something bad happens. Buy a good one. 2. A good paddle and a backup "skulling paddle". Either make one or buy one off here. Basically a hand paddle to keep with you because you will at some point knock off you paddle that you forgot to leash. you can paddle a kayak with a hand paddle. 3. Buy you a decent fishing rod and reel. Don't have to be the most expensive because a decent reel will still land a fish. A decent rod will still land a fish. An ultra cheap rod and reel might land a decent fish but also may cost you the fish of a lifetime. I don't buy top of line stuff anymore because I have lost more rods and reels in the lakes and rivers than I care to admit. But I still buy good quality that I know will help me catch fish not hurt me. 4. A good set of pliers and a knife. You can remove an embedded hook, cut line, remove hook from fish, make a peanut butter sandwich , cut bait or most of all cut anything in case of an emergency if you get in a sketchy situation. 5. Buy a good kayak. Don't go to a big box store to buy a kayak. If you like kayaking you will want to upgrade the next season anyway so spend a few hundred more and one from a shop that will let you demo it first. A box store kayak won't be worth much when you sell but a good quality kayak will hold it's value.

Perfect for saltwater fishing. Very handy, great quality, great price. Love the line cutting feature.

These are a great pair of pliers. They feel great in the hand and sturdy enough for what I fish for (bass, trout). Since these are stainless steel vs aluminum, I can really bear down on them and not feel that I will break them. Even being stainless steel they are very lightweight. I like the molded sheath with the rotating belt “clip”. I hate removing my belt when I forget to thread my case on. I haven’t had to use it yet, but I really like the KastKing “Beyond Warranty Support” policy included with the pliers. It almost sounds like the warranty that comes with a Dillion reloading press. If you need parts they will send it to you for free. I haven’t requested anything, but that’s what it sounds like. I really like these pliers so far. I would not hesitate to purchase more KastKing products.

Works

These pliers are the best we have found for removing hooks and holding fish...Do not break down with constant wet use...Excellent.

Pliers seem to be good. The case isn’t great - doesn’t stay on your belt well.
