Overview
Available in 6 or 7 inch lengths with split ring or straight jaws, the Reaction Tackle RT-PLIERS-2 is a stainless steel fishing plier with a Teflon coating and tungsten carbide line cutters.
The two jaw styles are built for different jobs rather than as interchangeable options: split ring jaws speed up hook and lure changes, while straight jaws add strength for pulling heavy hooks. Picking the version to match your typical fishing matters more here than defaulting to one. No owner reviews are attached to this listing yet to confirm how the saltwater coating holds up over time.
- Available in 6 or 7 inch sizes
- Built-in crimping slots and hook tuner
- Serrated jaws grip for hook removal
- Non-slip rubber handles for wet conditions
Who it's for
Anglers who need one tool to cut braid, fluorocarbon, or mono and pull hooks in fresh or saltwater. Choose the straight jaw for heavier hook work, split ring if you swap lures often.

Performance notes
Tungsten carbide cutters are built to slice braided line, fluorocarbon, monofilament, and heavy leader cleanly, while serrated jaws grip for hook removal and crimping slots handle weights and sleeves. A built-in safety lock keeps the tool closed inside the included sheath, and a coiled lanyard tethers it on the water.
