Not messing with you but... what are you "crimping"?

Split shot for the occasional sheepshead. Braid cutter and pliers are really what I meant. Can crimp split shot with the pliers.

picked up a pair of these a month or two ago, they’re aluminum so they won’t rust

p-line Adaro 7.5 inch on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043JXW2C/ref=twister_B0097A1MQK

Aluminum pliers wont rust but they also are not as strong. They will bend if pushed too hard. i.e. yanking an 8/0 hook out of a sharks mouth. I just twist them back when I get home.

Or you can go titanium. Stronger, but cost way to much for my taste.

I saw those Adaro pliers when I did a search on Amazon. Might go with those. Thanks fellas.

X2.I’ve had a pair for a couple of years and they haven’t failed me yet. Plus, it looks like you know what you’re doin’ when you got 'em on your waist…:wink:

For on board general use pliers I’ve been using a stainless model from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=fishing+pliers…$6.99 and they don’t rust…

I bought a the Cabelas brand fishing pliers with the tungsten line cutter for $50. They work great on braid.

I found a pair of stainless steel all in 1 crimper/cutter pliers at the boat landing and looked them up and they sold for 50-80 depending where you got them and says salt water resistant and doesn’t rust. I have to wd40 them every time and have had cheap pliers handle salt water way better.
