Summarized by Shop
The Ultralight Pliers have been a staple for us since 2006. In 2010 we improved the original design by replacing the external spring with an internal one and augmented operating tension. The Ultralight Pliers are an angler favorite for steelhead fishing and those colder times where gloves are preferred on the water.

Easy to use single handed, even with gloves. I especially like the internal spring as there’s one less thing to catch your line on.

Ultralight hemostats are the bomb
I have had a pair that I've loved for several years. And then, I used them to attach to my flyline to find the bottom...and when I pulled the line up, they stayed on the bottom along with the fly I hooked them to. My bad! So I came home and immediately ordered another pair. Was out on the water a week later with my new ultralights, happily crimping hooks, cutting tippet, and removing hooks from fish. Won't fish without them!
