Braid Multi-Purpose Pliers Talk to any long-range fisherman or tackle shop technician,and they'll tell you the most crucial area in successful big game angling is at the business end of the line, or your terminal tackle rigging. Clean, consistent connections from hooks and rings to wire loops always requires specialized tools to do the job. To effectively and easily address these critical connections is what motivated Braid Products, Inc, to introduce a single tool that can "do it all" and do it right--the Braid Multi-Purpose Pliers.
Don't let the simple configuration fool you. This heavy duty pliers (available either entirely of stainless steel or a combination of forged and stainless) includes a line and wire cutter and angled needle tip with steel teeth for hook removal or a variety gripping needs. Yet there is much more. Below the tip are a double channel sleeve closer for sizes .8 to 1.3 mm use, as well as crimpers in two sizes. This means you don't have to carry yet another tool--especially when space becomes more lim ited on long range trips.
But no tool yet also provides the added benefit of two sizes of hook eye openers for changing out a variety of single hooks on both trolling and casting lures. For most hooks, it is only necessary to adjust the stainless steel screw so it will penetrate and expand the hook eye and create a gap for its removal or addition to a lure or trolling rig. In the situation where a hook's wire gauge is too thin, alone, to fit in the tool, a special gap adjusting screw has been added so two hook eyes can be stacked on each other and eye opener will open the hooks one at a time.
No serious fisherman or tackle outfitter can afford to be without Braid's clever new Multi Purpose Pliers. Look for this and other Braid Products at all quality tackle stores and landings.
