XD351 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Pliers are ok for bigger rings , for small ones you need split ring tweezers , Wilson make them and probably a few others . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Ive had so many issues with split ring pliers over the years that I bought jigstar game split ring pliers which are easy to use on the heaviest of split rings. On light rings I find most of the cheaper brands will work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If you are going to use them just now and again to change the hooks on a few lures etc the cheap $12-$15 ones are OK. If you are going to use them on a regular basis I would suggest you look in the price range $35-$80 . There is a HUGE difference in price between different brands and the quality reflects in the product. I am going to the big snake to buy a new pair today.

GoldenHourFishing Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Hey mate, for small hardbodies like cranks etc I either use my surgical forceps or my micro split ring pliers, samaki make them if you want to purchase home grown but there are plenty of jdm versions too. The big ones are easy, any long nose pliers can do the job but feel free to buy any standard split ring pliers if you feel the need.

Rebel Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I would like to see comments on using various Metals at the beach & rock fishing. While I experimented myself I would like to read other people's views. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do all the standard techniques on plastics but 5 inch jerkshads are rather difficult 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
