I ALWAYS carry a sidecutter pliers whenever I fish. Also make sure that you can cut the biggest hook you usually use with your left(weaker) hand. Also position it on your belt so it can be had from both sides. Might come in handy when your out on a bar waist deep and hooked to a 20#+ bass by your lonesome in your right hand. Ask me how I know

. Damn thing got hung in my jacket sleeve too. But that was fish 7 in a 13 fish night and the bleeding stopped before I attracted any sharks. I was able to push the cutoff shank of a 4/0 treble through my hand . I cook for a living so I keep my Tetanus shots updated. But my hand was sure sore the next couple of days.
