A pair of strong, corrosion resistant, and fast cutting pliers is a must for any angler— no matter the species or method. My previous pair of pliers failed these three simple criteria.
I learned of Hansom pliers while reading an issue of the Surfcasters Journal. I ordered a pair of the Hansom AP-8 pliers from Cape Cod Canal Bait and Tackle. They processed my order very quickly and I had my shiny new pliers in record time.
The Hansom AP-8 pliers are made from light anodized aluminum. The gripping power of the replaceable stainless steel jaws helps greatly when un-hooking fish. And the cutting performance of the replaceable Tungsten Carbide cutters is amazing. Mono, braid, wire…no problem! 😉
The Hansom AP-8 pliers come with a quality leather sheath. But, for extreme conditions, I secure my Hansom pliers to my AquaSkinz E.H.P.S. belt using theAquaSkinz E.H.P.S. pliers sheath.
I have used my Hansom AP-8 pliers while surfcasting, kayak fishing, fly fishing, and skishing. They have performed beyond my expectations under these conditions. If you are in the market for a new pair of pliers, then get a pair ofHansom AP-8 pliers! 😉
