I dont see an advantage to those short little things.They are good for nuts and bolts because of the parallel jaws but I'd rather have long nose for fishing. I got an 8 dollar pair of Lakers on their second season. They have crimpers, tuning slots and you can reach the hook in a bluefish's mouth without getting bit. Granted, you get what you pay for with the cutters on them but If I'm cutting a hook it's probably cause it's stuck in my skin and at that point they only have to work once to satisfy me. Unless your going to carry a couple different pairs, why go with the short ones?

still by the firelight
and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted river's call
