The Trout Pliers are more robust than any pair of hemostats, but they're still sized for trout. They include a cutter in the jaw that is equally versatile with a unique design that allows anglers to make quick work of pinching heavy barbs, removing delicate dry flies, cutting braid, clipping light tippet, and everything in between. The Loon Trout Plier comes housed in a durable rubber holster and include a Quickdraw Tool Tether, making them easy to store on any pack, belt or even a pair of board shorts.
