Abel Pliers are spring-loaded hard working tools. We offer two sizes of precision-machined pliers, shop-tested for 1,000+ cuts of 80-pound test Monel wire and 100 cuts of 250-pound Nylon-coated braided wire. After that, they still cut 7X mono.

Abel Model #2 Pliers at just 5.5 inches in length and 2.9 ounces are designed for all freshwater, bass angling, saltwater and fly-fishing use, capable of bending down the barb on a dry fly or cutting 175-pound braided wire.

Abel Model #4 Pliers at 6.5 inches and just 4.1 ounces are for fly-fishing and/or conventional bluewater anglers. They'll remove a hook from any fish or shark, cut 250-pound braided wire or any size monofilament line made.

Abel Pliers come with a curled safety lanyard that may be secured to your belt. The curled lanyard will stretch approximately three feet. The leather sheath is extra.
