Fishing plier recommendation

[tattoobob]

I have the Shimano pliers, good for the price work well and will last about 3 years,

I have Cabelas 11 inch rusty as hell great for deep hooked fish and awesome for unhooking blues

I have the Brownings great pliers for the 50 bucks after a few years I can't get the screws out to replace the cutters, like T.O. said the sheath is a piece of crap, lasts about 6 months

I have the Van Staal 7 inch these things are sweet best pliers ever made, they will not cut a VMC 4/0 4x hook with out breaking the cutters, 40 bucks to replace cutters. the sheath does not have a drain hole and fills with water when deep wading, also it stained my seat in my explorer when moving from spot to spot.
would I buy another pair no, I would buy the Brownings again tho

vs's are very pricey, but damned they are sweet . and i've seen them cut a 3/0 hook that was stuck in max's finger with no problems.
