Not for the faint of heart! These clamps are designed to manhandle big flies and keep gnashing teeth and loose treble and fly hooks at a safe distance. Perfectly at home in fresh and salt water. Long heavy duty shanks and short powerful jaws make short work of deep hook removal, big barb crushing, and closing shot. Really handy when removing double fly rigs or stinger setups from fish. Great alternative to traditional pliers. Half Smooth and Half Striated Jaw Structure Pin-In Shank
