Pliers & Forceps

Pliers, forceps, clamps, hemostats… whatever it is you call them, there’s no denying that these tools are an absolute must have for every serious fly fisherman or woman. Be sure to pinch these things to your vest or jacket before wading into those mysterious waters because they allow you to perform numerous common tasks on the water including pinching barbs on flies, removing hooks for fish, cutting monofilament leaders and tippet, and adding or removing split shots. Our collection of pliers and forceps have you covered in all conditions, saltwater or freshwater. These tools are up to the challenge, whatever that challenge may be.

If you’re on the hunt for a serious pair of pliers, we recommend the Simms Guide Plier. With corrosion resistant stainless steel jaws, these things are sure to get the job done right the first time. These hardcore tools also feature 6061‐T6, type II anodized aluminum arms, Tungsten Carbide cutting blade, Kydex holster & utility leash included, and a bottle opener with beveled notch for tightening knots. Best of all, each pair of pliers is made in the USA. These superior Guide Pliers put rusty, decrepit needle-nosers on notice.

For those who aren’t looking for something quite as hardcore but still want a great pair of forceps, check out the Loon Rogue Forceps. These top quality tools feature a comfy grip and a matte black coating for stealth with just enough yellow accent to make them findable if you accidentally drop them. These forceps are designed by anglers to maximize strength, comfort, and smooth opening and closing.

These fly fishing pliers and forceps make the perfect gift for any angler, regardless of experience level. Explore our collection of pliers and forceps from awesome manufacturers like Loon Outdoors, Simms, and Cheeky Fishing to find the perfect tools for the job.
