These forceps are a great addition to a fly vest, and by nature of their 3-position ratcheting lock, they’ll easily clip right to your fishing vest or shirt for convenient accessibility when needed. Their diminutive size allows you to see what you’re doing as you grasp the bend of the hook to work it from the fish’s mouth. They are the perfect size for working a small hook from a fish’s mouth, especially if the fly is swallowed. The 5-inch Fly Fishing Forceps come with the same beautifully polished finish and also sport elegant gold oversized finger loops. Constructed of the highest quality materials, they will last a lifetime and make a fantastic gift for any fly fisherman. They all have a beautifully polished finish that cleans up with a damp cloth after a long day on the water. Smith’s offer three different forceps, a 5-inch version, a 5.5-inch set with scissors right behind the locking jaws, and a 6.5-inch set.
They are a fantastic tool for removing small hooks inside a fish’s mouth, where normal pliers of any type are almost always too large, causing damage to the fish during the hook removal. The three-position ratcheting mechanism is ideal for adjusting the tension needed to grasp small baits or flies without the bait slipping and is comprised of three interlocking teeth just behind the large finger loops. Each set is constructed of stainless steel and offers three-locking position serrated jaws for a no-slip hold of your bait and large finger loops for ease of use. Smith’s line of high-quality stainless steel clamping forceps is a perfect tool for fly fishing or any other angling pursuit where small hooks or baits are employed. Fly anglers were some of the first to use forceps in their angling arsenal, but any angler using small flies or lures will find using a high-quality set of forceps vitally helpful!
From organizing fly boxes to tying a fly onto a leader or unhooking a fish, there are always challenges when dealing with such small hooks. There’s only one thing to do, and that’s forceps surgery!įly Anglers know how hard it is to handle tiny flies. The trout is quickly landed, and it is easy to see that the fish had complete confidence in the fly because the hook is embedded at the back of his mouth. As it floats downstream, the trout sees it, and with vibrating fins and a quick push with his tail, he tipps up, and the small comparadun disappears in a classic head and tail rise.
The dry fly lands gently in the current seam above the trout.
