Advantages and Key Features

By choosing these versatile fishing pliers, you reduce the number of tools to carry on the water. No need for separate split-ring pliers, a line cutter and a debarbing tool: the SMITH FP 752 groups all these functions in a single format. This saves space in your bag or vest and lets you work more efficiently on your leaders and lures.

The curved tip greatly eases opening split rings, an operation that can be delicate with inappropriate tools. You can change hooks or lures quickly without damaging the ring or excessively marking the metal loop. The integrated barb crimper supports more responsible fishing by simplifying the release of fish while maintaining excellent hold during the fight. Robust and reliable, these SMITH pliers will quickly become an essential accessory in your kit.

Usage Tips

To use the SMITH FP 752 split-ring pliers, simply position the curved tip at the opening of the split ring, then apply gradual pressure to spread the coils. Slide the ring off the hook or lure while using the pliers to hold the components in place. This method reduces the risk of injury and prevents damage to your lures.

The line cutter should be used with a clean angle and decisive pressure, ensuring the line is positioned correctly between the intended cutting blades. To crimp a barb, place the relevant part of the hook in the crimping area, then press firmly until a smooth profile is achieved. Rinse the pliers in fresh water after each use in saltwater and dry thoroughly to preserve performance over time.

• Store the pliers in a dry place between outings.
• Regularly check the condition of the line cutter and jaws.
• Use an attachment system or lanyard to prevent accidental loss.
• Wear protective eyewear when cutting line under tension.
