Looking for the best value in fishing pliers
I'm looking to replace a 20 year old set of Van Staal fishing pliers. They were a gift from a friend a long time ago but someone on a crowded party boat a few weeks ago needed them more than me and removed them from my bag. I don't think I'll find a better set than they were but, I don't really want to spend the $300+ to buy another set. I'm just looking to you guys for real world advise on a quality tool for a lesser amount of $$$. Thanks

Re: Looking for the best value in fishing pliers
Should've been on your hip and not in your bag! I'd never let a set of pliers like that out of sight ever on a party boat. The accurate pliers are good. The prices range so dramatically it's purely a matter of budget and preference. I just grabbed an aluminum pair for like $30. Likely won't hold up very long but they serve their purpose.

Yeah I also have the Mustad 30 buck version. They last years just rince and WD them when you see fit. Not as good as the ones you lost though.

Re: Looking for the best value in fishing pliers
Go with anything but Van Staal's
Had a pair had to cut a bluefish hook out of a guy and the cutter blade broke. Refused to warranty the blades.. Bull S**t $300.00 for a set and your won't do whats right. Never buy another product from them EVER. Calcutta's are one of the best bag for the buck

Re: Looking for the best value in fishing pliers
Thank you gents for all the replies. I just got a message from a dear friend who must have also read this post. He tells me not to buy a new pliers but i should watch the mailbox! I'm blessed to have met some great friends through this sport and am thankful for them everyday. For every JERK I find on a fishing boat, there are 100 great friends whom I look forward to being around again.
