I am in the market to buy a pair and I have a question
other than 50 bucks and 1 inch, what is the difference
between the 6 and 7 inch?
is the 7 inch worth the extra money?
BigFish 05-18-2008, 07:21 PM Buy the 7 inch....more versatile. You might find the 6's a tad small!
big jay 05-18-2008, 07:37 PM 7" has a little more leverage if you need to cut a hook.
hyefisherman2 05-18-2008, 07:38 PM i own the 6inch and wished i had bought the 7....but i do like that the 6inch is real small and fits in my hand almost perfectly.
afterhours 05-18-2008, 07:38 PM another vote for the 7".
jim sylvester 05-18-2008, 09:10 PM another for 7"
more comfortable in the hand, better leverage
chunk 05-19-2008, 01:28 AM Is there any advantage to buying an expensive aluminum pair or a titanium pair?
Definitely go with the 7"
risurffish 05-19-2008, 02:50 AM another vote for the 7 "
Im not in the market for pliers but I gotta ask how much are the Van Staal's?
macojoe 05-19-2008, 05:41 AM WOW!!
Clogston29 05-19-2008, 07:14 AM get the 7's. my wife bought me the 6's as a gift and I exchanged them. the 6's fit weird in my hand and the cutter always ended up right at the webbing between my thumb and index finger, felt dangerous.
fish4striper 05-19-2008, 10:00 AM what the hell, get both.
One for each side when someone snaps a pic :hidin:
tinyboatbigfish 05-19-2008, 11:37 AM i agree go with the 7 inch they feel much better to me than the six inch but i have big hands lol:tm:
Al in Westport 05-19-2008, 12:28 PM I've had a pair of 7" for three years, love 'em.

STREETFIGHT 05-19-2008, 12:55 PM not to beat a dead horse but...... 7's
Polar Express 05-19-2008, 01:07 PM size does matter.:rotf3:
vanstaal 05-19-2008, 02:15 PM 7" but I wouldn't try to cut a hook I did that and one of the cutters broke off thats 30.00
NIGHT STRIKES 05-19-2008, 03:37 PM 6.5" Stainless Pair - they get the job done for half the price, just treat them nice.....;)
tattoobob 05-19-2008, 04:36 PM Wow thanks everyone, I will go with the 7 inch
