FAQs
What materials can the cutters cut?
The precision tungsten carbide cutters are designed to cut monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines effectively.
Are these pliers suitable for saltwater fishing?
Yes, the anodized aluminum alloy body provides excellent resistance to corrosion from saltwater and environmental elements.
How do I maintain the pliers to prevent rust?
Always rinse the pliers with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater, and dry them completely. Store in a dry location.
Can these pliers crimp heavy-duty leader material?
The pliers can crimp leads and sleeves. For very heavy-duty materials, significant force may be required, and a dedicated crimping tool might be more suitable.
What are the dimensions and weight of the pliers?
The pliers measure 15x6x1.1cm and weigh 75g, making them lightweight and compact.
Does this tool include a hook remover?
Yes, the Neilsen CT4664 Fishing Pliers feature a safe hook remover integrated into the design.
Can I use these pliers to open split rings?
Yes, the pliers include a function specifically designed to open split rings for easy lure and hook changes.
Troubleshooting
Cutters not cutting cleanly
Ensure the line is positioned correctly at the base of the cutters. Check for any debris or damage to the tungsten carbide blades. If dull, professional sharpening may be required, or consider replacement.
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Rinse the pliers thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt or grime. Dry completely and apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant to the pivot. Work the pliers back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Split ring opener is not effective
Ensure you are using the correct part of the tool for the split ring size. For larger or stiffer split rings, you may need to apply more force or use a dedicated split ring tool if available.
Corrosion spots appearing on the body
While anodized, prolonged exposure without rinsing can still cause minor surface oxidation. Scrub gently with a soft brush and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Reapply a protective coating if necessary.
