Overview
A compact stainless steel fishing tool combining pliers, scissors and a split ring opener, built to cut braid, mono, fluorocarbon and wire and remove hooks from small to medium fish, with a coiled safety lanyard included.
The split ring opener handles sizes 1 through 5, roughly 3.5 to 5.5mm inside diameter, which several reviewers specifically use for swapping hooks on lures. One long-time owner questioned the listed 420 stainless steel grade after a magnet stuck to the tool, arguing that points to lower corrosion resistance than 302 or 304 stainless, though they still rated the build quality highly.
- 420 stainless steel construction
- Opens split rings sized 1 to 5 (3.5 to 5.5mm ID)
- Cuts braid, mono, fluorocarbon and wire
- Includes coiled safety lanyard
Who it's for
Fits anglers who want one small tool on a vest, kayak or boat for dehooking, cutting line and adjusting split rings on lures, including some who specifically chose it for a limited hand grip. Not built as a heavy-duty dehooker for large or deeply hooked fish.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners value the H01 for removing hooks from small to medium fish, cutting braid and other lines, and opening split rings to swap hooks on lures, with several keeping it clipped to a vest or kayak via the coiled lanyard. One reviewer with limited hand mobility said the narrow grip works where standard pliers do not. The recurring criticism is rust: multiple buyers noted surface rust develops despite the stainless steel listing, and one questioned the actual grade based on how strongly a magnet stuck to it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Narrow tip removes deeply lodged hooks
- Cutter handles braid, mono, fluorocarbon and wire
- Split ring opener works sizes 1 through 5
- Coiled lanyard keeps it attached and within reach
- Prone to surface rust despite stainless steel construction
- Not intended as a dehooker for large fish
- One buyer found the steel less corrosion-resistant than expected
Performance notes
The narrow pliers reach into a fish's mouth to remove hooks lodged deep, the built-in cutter handles braid, mono, fluorocarbon and wire, and the tip opens split rings for changing hooks on lures. The coiled lanyard keeps it clipped to a vest, belt loop or kayak so it stays within reach.
