SMITH 155ST Fishing Pliers

Product benefits

These SMITH fishing pliers are an essential tool for all anglers, whether fishing in freshwater or at sea. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they deliver reliable performance in harsh waterside conditions: humidity, spray, salinity and repeated handling. Their careful design makes them a robust and precise fishing accessory, ready to accompany you season after season.

Thanks to their dual function as a line-cutting pliers and a barb crimper, they replace several tools in your vest or tackle bag. You gain efficiency and speed when preparing rigs, unhooking fish or adapting hooks for more fish-friendly practice. Compact and well balanced, these pliers are designed to stay within reach, whether attached to a carabiner, a retractable tool holder or stored in a pocket.

The SMITH brand is recognized by many enthusiasts for the quality of its technical fishing accessories. These pliers are no exception: clean finishes, precise clamping and consistent closure ensure comfortable use, even during long sessions. They suit both beginner anglers seeking a reliable tool and experts who want high-end fishing equipment.

Advantages and key features

The main advantage of these SMITH pliers lies in their ability to combine several essential functions into a single compact tool. You have both a precise fishing pliers to handle hooks and an efficient line cutter to adjust rigs in seconds. The barb crimping area makes it easy to modify hooks to respect no-kill zones or reduce injury to fish.

The stainless steel used in their construction ensures excellent long-term performance. Even after many outings in rain or by the sea, the pliers retain their mechanical qualities and jaw alignment. This durability makes them a worthwhile investment for any angler looking for a reliable and long-lasting tool rather than repeatedly replacing entry-level gear.

Another advantage is the carefully designed grip. The shape of the handles ensures precise control of clamping, reducing the risk of slipping when delicately removing a hook or handling a hook near your fingers. This added safety is appreciated both while fishing and when preparing leaders at home.

Usage tips

To get the most from your stainless steel fishing pliers, keep them always accessible: attach them to your vest, belt or a retractable reel. This way you can quickly cut a line, change a lure or unhook a fish without losing time. When unhooking, firmly grip the hook with the pliers and keep the fish in the water whenever possible to limit stress and favour a safe release.

When using the barb crimper, position the barb area between the dedicated jaws, then compress gradually until you obtain a smooth profile. Always check that the hook retains adequate strength after modification. For the line cutter, place the line deep in the cutting slot before squeezing to obtain a clean, burr-free cut.

After each outing, rinse the pliers with fresh water, especially after saltwater fishing or when used in heavily silted water. Dry thoroughly before storing and, if needed, apply a thin film of appropriate oil to the pivot to preserve smooth opening and closing. These simple maintenance steps will greatly extend the life of your SMITH fishing accessory.
