I use them on the boat and yesterday we were onto a sick bite of mostly undersized fluke. Every fluke was between 16 and 18 inches (NY we need 21 inches). Me and a buddy probably released 70-80 fluke. I was using the Van Stall pliers to pull hooks from the toothy little &^$%^&&*! without bringing them into the boat.
Yup. I dropped them. Water was only 9 feet deep but the current was quick or I would have gone in after them.
So other than the lanyard which really doesn't work on the boat what can you put on the new pliers to make them float???
