Fishing Gear: Ugly Tools Marine Shears

October 27, 2021 By Thomas Allen

Ugly Tools Marine Shears

Description and Application: Designed to be dependable and authentic, Ugly Stik’s Ugly Tools were built with the angler in mind, no matter the conditions. Each pair feature the company’s robust non-slip handles that give the angler more control. The shears are built with 420 stainless steel blades, a scaler, fin snip and the blades separate for easy cleaning. They also come with an impressive 7-year warranty.

Staff Perspective: Keeping a pair of heavy-duty shears, or several, handy at all times in the boat or when preparing tackle is always a good idea. With the durability and reliability that Ugly Stik is already known for, it’s a safe bet their tools are just as tough. But maybe not so ugly after all. These shears are the real deal and will keep you snipping as long as you have leaders to tie and rods to rig. Keep ‘em handy.

Cost:$24.99

Does color matter? How fast can you retrieve a bait? How big is too big for muskie lures? How fast does a muskie feed? All good questions that the In-Fisherman crew has answers to. What's interesting is the discussion inside this video about bait size and feeding speed, as we know now and gear has evolved to accommodate larger baits, muskies will eat huge presentations that can be near impossible to cast.
