Fishing Gear: Ugly Tools 9-Inch Pliers

Ugly Tools 9-Inch Pliers

Description and Application: Engineered to deliver on durability, Ugly Tools make all fishing-related tasks like filleting walleyes or skinning catfish. Ugly Tools have implemented the Ugly legacy into the new lines of tools. The pliers feature Ugly Tuff Grip, triggered reverse grip handle design, high-carbon, spring-loaded steel jaws for one-hand operation, replaceable cutters and an adjustable vented sheath with a belt clip. Like all Ugly Tools, the 9-Inch Pliers come with a 7-year warranty.

Staff Perspective: How many pairs of pliers does an angler need? The answer is “yes.” Honestly, you can’t have too many pairs of quality pliers—at least several pairs per boat, maybe one pair per tacklebox. Scratch that, two pairs. Bottom line is, when it comes to reliability and quality, the new Ugly pliers will stand up to the abuse any angler can dish out. Plus, I like that the company stands behind them with a great warranty.
