Top 5 Reasons to Invest in a Fishing Multitool

A multitool combines various tool functions into one portable hand tool. Its individual components typically fold out quickly and effortlessly with one hand before locking securely when closed.

An effective fishing multitool contains all of the tools an angler requires in a compact and lightweight package, including needle-nose pliers, shot splitter, line cutter knife fish scaler hook remover screwdriver.

Needle Nose Pliers

Needle-nose pliers offer an alternate option that provides a slimmer profile to fit into tighter spaces than standard models do. Their rubber handles ensure a firm grip and help to block electric current from passing through them.

No matter the project – from sewing leather to creating necklaces – long needle-nose pliers are an essential tool in delicate projects. Most users will do well with a standard set that features straight jaws; however, tradespeople may prefer different options like bent jaws or grooves to hold fish hooks.

Shot Splitter

Work quickly with split shot rigs using this tool that quickly adds, adjusts, and removes split shot. No more mutilating split shot with your teeth or pliers!

Over/under, half-in/half-out or split shot photography is an eye-catching style of image making that seamlessly ties aquatic and terrestrial habitats. To capture its best results, over/under photographs should have strong top and bottom frames with water running across both frames – this creates an interesting way to highlight beautiful spots; Leatherman Wave+ is often recommended by anglers as an over/under camera option.

Line Cutter

This new fishing multitool provides all of the tools a fisherman requires in one compact, durable and convenient package. Its die-cast metal frame and soft grip handle makes it simple and intuitive for users.

This innovative line cutter quickly and easily cuts braided lines with its dual blade design and redundancy against single points of failure. Additionally, its lanyard ring makes this tool easily accessible on vests or boat rails for immediate access.

Knife

An essential tool in any fishing multitool, a well-designed and sturdy knife is essential to cutting lines, jigs and equipment – as well as for dislodging hooks from fish.

These tools are made of stainless steel and corrosion-resistant. However, for optimal use it is recommended to clean them after each use in saltwater.

This tool contains 18 tools easily reached with one hand, such as spring-action pliers, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, scissors, combo knife, wood file and three different screwdrivers. In addition, there’s also a bottle opener and can punch.

Fish Scaler

Scaling fish is messy business, so having a reliable fish scaler makes the task far simpler. This one from 430 food-grade stainless steel offers incredible durability and corrosion protection for years of service.

It looks almost like large kitchen scissors and features a gut hook on its top blade for quickly opening fish, dedicated fin clipper for speedy tail and fin cutting and an integrated scaler for swift scale removal. Plus it is strong and comfortable to use too.

Hook Remover

With this innovative new tool, removing hooks has never been simpler or safer! With its long reach and lockable head design, this hook remover makes the task of hook removal much simpler while protecting your catch from hook damage.

Unhooking fish using this method is one of the easiest and safest ways to ensure they’re released unharmed. Compared with using needle nose pliers or hemostats which pinch hooks and may damage baitfish, it ensures your catch can be released without incident.

The stainless steel jaws are strong and resilient, while their ergonomic handle offers comfort in your hand. Furthermore, this corrosion-resistant tackle will outlive many fishing trips ahead.

Screwdriver

Screwdrivers can be invaluable tools for fishermen. Not only can they crimp split rings or remove scales, but they’re also used to fix crank baits!

Many multi tools come equipped with a set of screwdrivers specifically tailored for anglers’ needs. These tools can easily be accessed with one hand and are convenient to store away in tackle boxes; plus they’re made of quality materials with long lifespans.

Bottle Opener

Bottle openers are specially-designed tools designed to dislodge metallic caps from bottles. Often circular in shape and requiring some upward pressure for removal, bottle openers use spring mechanisms to pry open their caps with ease.

Traditional key-style bottle openers, known as church keys, are popularly carried around by bar tenders due to their portability. Some models even come equipped with an attachment hole at one end that makes attaching it on key chains easier; their circle sides can also be used to remove pour spouts from liquor bottles.
