Product Information
Full details
The Skeater GripJaw 28cm Long Nose Pliers are designed specifically for serious predator anglers who require high-leverage tools to manage large, toothy fish like pike safely and efficiently. These professional-grade pliers provide an essential combination of reach, gripping power, and rust resistance; however, their 28cm length may feel slightly cumbersome for anglers targeting smaller species or working in very tight, confined watercraft spaces.

FAQs
Are these pliers suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the hot-forged steel and PTFE coating are designed to resist rust, though thorough fresh water rinsing after saltwater use is mandatory to maintain longevity.
Can these be used for cutting wire traces?
Yes, the pliers are engineered for cutting wire and heavy-duty monofilament/fluorocarbon lines used in predator rigging.
How do these compare to the 33cm and 22cm models?
The 28cm model is the standard mid-size option. Choose the 33cm XL version for maximum reach, or the 22cm Slim version for increased portability and smaller catch.
Do the grips contain latex?
The grips are made of a high-quality, durable rubberized material designed for non-slip performance; they do not contain latex.
Will the PTFE coating eventually wear off?
With heavy, professional use, the coating may show wear over time, but the underlying hot-forged steel will retain its structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Hinge movement feels stiff or gritty
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove debris, dry, and apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point.
Surface oxidation appearing
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild soap, then re-apply a protective light coating of oil to preserve the PTFE finish.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skeater GripJaw pliers remain in peak condition, always rinse them with fresh water after every fishing trip, especially if used in brackish or saltwater environments. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them in your tackle bag. Because of the PTFE coating, avoid using harsh abrasive pads or wire brushes during cleaning, as these can strip the protective finish. For smooth hinge movement over extended periods, apply a light coat of synthetic reel oil to the pivot point once a season.
