Thanks for posting this. Needed it. Always like seeing fishing gear.
We can have all the fishing gear in the world but it's hard just to take the time to go enjoy the peace and quiet of the water.
Bonus is catching a fish.

For "small/medium" fish. One they show is a panfish, freshwater bream.

Oh, I see the rust picture posted by consumer. Look like it's not fully rusted but some. I got a scissor from costco claiming rust proof and titanium shit, well... it rusted similar to this. Not a lot but visible when wiped on a white paper towel.

You want aluminum for saltwater. H1 is resistant, but for something that is going to be constantly exposed with a joint like grippers/pliers you're really gonna want aluminum.

Aluminum is soft right? It won't be able to cut and stay sharp for long. Aluminum do oxidize, it's good for things that doesn't scratch together like a scissor/cutter suppose to do...right?

I wonder that little rust coming off, can our body use it... it's basically iron (aka iron supplement).

It come off and go into the food.

I'm... not sure why you would be using fishing pliers or a gripper to cut things?
The gripper is to hold the fish, the pliers are to remove the hook. At most you would be cutting the filament line but you carry a knife for that purpose.

Once that rust gets into the working joint and locks up the tool it doesn't really matter how little it is.

Gripper doesn't have a scale and the pliers look like hot garbage. I'll pass.

Are these pliers really any better than basic needlenose pliers for getting out swallowed hooks on average sized pan fish? Maybe the snoot is a little narrower and longer, I can't really tell. I've been using needlenose pliers for years. It stretches the fish's mouth some, but usually works ok.
