    $330 Pliers

    I went on the Ego website to look at nets and found these pliers for $330.00. In my wildest dreams I would not have guessed there are fishing pliers out there that cost $330.00. Although I would not buy them, I'm sure most BBC'ers have multiple pairs of these or even more expensive ones.

    I'd be afraid to use those on a boat, if I dropped them I'm going in!

    I'll keep using my free pliers with a harbor freight coupon. Just shake my head when they get dropped in

    After going through three pairs a year due to rust, I need to step up. I will take a look at Bubba. Bubba got some very poor reviews on Amazon, so ordered a pair of Knipex out of Germany. Under $30.

    we placed an order through a fly shop and got the wrong items.. they sent us Simms and Abel pliers instead of some cheap forceps.. i told my dad to check the prices of those pliers and his jaw almost hit the floor. We contacted the shop and told them the mishap and they were so grateful we were honest about it that they refunded our money for our order after we sent the pliers back. Our whol order wasn’t even 1/4 of the price of the Simms

    It’s the YETI of pliers. Why buy a $2 pair every season when you can blow $330 and tell your friends what a “GAME CHANGER” they are

    I buy mine from the $2 bin. I’ll buy 3 pairs a year and oil them from time to time and store them in the plier rack in my boat. If they get unusable I’ll chunk them
