Pliers

I was at M&D's today and bought these pliers. These things cut braid like butter, they float, and are super light. They also come with a lanyard. I haven't used them on a fish yet but I've been playing with them and they seem wicked strong for such light weight. I had to have them.

those look sweet!

speaking of floating plyers.. One day I was down at Deep Hole on a really low tide and I found something like 6 pairs of plyers. I couldnt for the life of me figure out what all these plyers were doing in 2 feet of water , then it all made sense

MikeCC, are they resistant to saltwater? Won't they rust? You know things can get eroded and rusted while surfcasting.

Mike _ I don't get down your way a lot, do ya ship?

I'm interested in the 7" - how much do they run? I need a new pair to start the season with.

Hey Eben, I lost a pair of pliers there last fall, did you find a pair of shimano's witrh sheath and electircal tape on a blue wading belt? Stupid wading belt came undone when I was getting slammed by waves on a rising tide. Went back at low the next morning but couldn't find them
