What is it?
South Bend Long Nose Pliers
What sets it apart?
When fishing with younger anglers, there are several essential tools that are necessary for success. A good pair of pliers are needed to remove the hook from smaller fish, and even larger fish that swallow the hook. South Bend is known for manufacturing tools and gear for all anglers alike, and the long nose pliers are a perfect for any tackle box. They are made from high-carbon steel with a chrome-plated finish.
How do I use it?
With kids and beginner anglers, usually the hook set is not immediate after the bite. It usually takes a little longer for the bite to be detected and get a hook set. Having a pair of pliers to remove hooks from smaller panfish with a small mouth and from fish with the bait down their throat is key. They are also used for cutting line and wire to avoid using your teeth to cut line when tying knots.
