Fishing Gear: Bubba 6.5-Inch Stainless Steel Pliers

August 29, 2021 By Thomas Allen

Bubba 6.5-Inch Stainless Steel Pliers

Description and Application: Bubba Stainless Steel Pliers bring a new level of strength and durability to fishing pliers—the kind that you can depend on. They are developed with premium, high-carbon stainless steel and titanium nitride coating, these pliers are purpose-built to withstand extreme duress and resist corrosion. The pliers come equipped with carbide cutters, crimping cutouts and are spring-loaded, so they are always ready to go.

Staff Perspective: Bubba has been working hard at becoming the kind of legacy/lifestyle brand that you can count on, and I feel it safe to say they’ve accomplished that. The high-end, molded polymer sheath allows for easy on-handed access and secure storage, and the iconic, non-slip grip keeps you in control at all times. These are over-engineered pliers, and the value there is hard to define when you’re working to release a big fish or quickly remove hooks.

Cost:$59.99

The ALL-NEW Shimano Vanford A: The Measure in Performance

Meeting an angler's demand for comfort and precise lure control, Shimano's MagnumLite series drives the evolution of fishing performance with the new Vanford A family of spinning reels. The MagnumLite's rotors are constructed from lightweight materials to minimize rotational resistance through a balanced wall thickness reduction, which also creates notable durability. A lighter rotor requires less force to start reeling and benefits anglers when they need to move the handle quickly to adjust to different fishing situations or to control the handle more directly to influence lure action. Featuring a reinforced structure with high-strength carbon fiber mixed into resin, the rotor and body will maximize sensitivity and operation. This CI4+ material also exhibits impressive rigidity under pressure when compared to general reinforced resin. Modern anglers who demand precise control every day they spend on the water will find plenty of benefits from the new Vanford A.
