I have a similar pair which looks exactly the same but blue with a gamagaktsu logo on it. No complaints, just eventually gonna have to change out the cutter blades.
I’ve had the tips of the pliers buckle over sideways when I was pulling out a hook out of a big halibut I think you need to wait a month or two Of using them in order to have a good review everything works great when it’s brand new
thx moo! my wife always said i talk too much and she's happy i'm finally putting it to good use lol. great pliers ... i didn't review some others cause they failed or weren't convenient, but i liked these enough for a full review. i misquoted the price too; they're only 16 shipped on Amazon Prime! not 20 like i said in the vid. good deal for the price.
Excellent review. I almost bought this one, but ended up with another brand. Would have been nice to see a sample cutting of the braided, mono, flouro lines, and the use of the split ring tip to get a better reference in size.
totally. i filmed some line cutting tests but the camera couldn't focus on the line up close for some reason. you'll see me cutting line with it in future vids.
Thanks for this video Ish! I actually have these in my Amazon shopping list and have been contemplating them. Just wasn’t sure if it was cheap stuff or the real deal 😁
Man my Pliers stop cutting line after a month and a half I had to re-adjust the cutting blades and they’re working OK I don’t like the design but I still use him it sucks cause I still have to carry a pair of scissors with me they get a six out of 10
yes, check out my recent uploads, i put a 30-35lb ray on my 6000, big test for the drag (i almost screwed up the spool smh). bottom line, pretty impressed with it👍
Have you tried to take apart the pliers to clean/lube, etc? I'm thinking the ring with the holes them secures the sides, but I haven't wanted to use a punch or something to try to open yet.
@@ishwithfish Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I was hoping they were just screwed in with some special tool but I haven't found any details about disassemble yet.
No. Ask me how I know. They are chinese junk, lasted me about 3 months of hard fishing. If you spend a lot of time on the water youll need more of a pro series plier in the $150+ range
Dude mine were great, if I could manage to not lose a pair of players every month I’m sure they would have been going strong still lol. The crimp zone is great for putting a hook in so you can winch your knots right.
i've seen deckhands use Shimano Brutus long nose pliers, but i think those are stainless and on the heavier side. no split ring or crimp jaws either. for the same price, these piscifun pliers should be durable enough for the casual angler and be a lot more versatile.
Mine did not hold up at all. 3-4 months of hard use: The screw that keeps them together (under the black circle plate) backed off so they were all loose. I had to take off the plate to re tighten the screw. Then the cutters cracked after they essentially stopped working. The tolerances are so loose now they slide side to side all over the place. These are junk tbh - a bunch of different companies use these and slap their name on them. Booms, gamakatsu, mustad, piscifun etc. Avoid them

Live to Fish mine came like that out the box
Great review. I've been looking for aluminum plyers for salt water for a while. You have me sold on this. I always envied how well you speak. 👍👍

Great reviews - love the music!!
who doesn't?😁
Where to find the cutter replacement?
They dont make them.
Thanks for this video Ish! I actually have these in my Amazon shopping list and have been contemplating them. Just wasn’t sure if it was cheap stuff or the real deal 😁
they're decent! a step or two above ebrand trash, imo great value for $17, id totally buy if it wasn't comped.
Great review. Just what I'm looking for.

Sorry Meant to say my players start cutting line after a month and a half
Have you had a chance the test out the Piscifun Spartan yet? Curious to see how it fares.
yes, check out my recent uploads, i put a 30-35lb ray on my 6000, big test for the drag (i almost screwed up the spool smh). bottom line, pretty impressed with it👍
Have a blue pair, pretty sweet pliers.

not yet, not sure if there's a way to disassemble, the round cap seems glued 🤔
@@ishwithfish Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I was hoping they were just screwed in with some special tool but I haven't found any details about disassemble yet.
Thank you! I like em
Can it cut a 2/0 circle hook in half?
No. Ask me how I know. They are chinese junk, lasted me about 3 months of hard fishing. If you spend a lot of time on the water youll need more of a pro series plier in the $150+ range
Thank you very much for your honesty
6061 aluminum is what Van Staal uses too.
Thanks!

agreed, thx for the comment
Paint or anodized?
this black model appears to be painted. i think the piscifun iv pliers are little longer and anodized.
Mines got cricked while unhooking a bluegill. Rip.
oh dayum
Ish With Fish other than that tough pliers are great i might be able to fix it by putting some pressure on the circle part i was thinking
Could you recomend a good pair

Mine broke day one
dang sorry man, i have 3 and one had a side cap pop off, still works, the other ones are still going strong 2 years later.
Nice review! I recently posted a video on my channel reviewing a Fish Elite pliers (and their fillet knife) Check it out if you get the chance!
No they don’t, they don’t have that on their site.
First!
Don't you guy's know about WD40?
I've seen a lot better split ring pliers in that price range!
