Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your pliers in peak condition, perform a quick freshwater rinse after any use in saltwater environments. The PTFE coating is highly resistant to rust, but prolonged exposure to salt can still lead to mineral buildup around the hinge.
- Always store the pliers in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture trapping.
- Apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point every few months to ensure the spring-action remains smooth.
- Do not attempt to force large split rings, as this may bend the precision tips and compromise their alignment.
Compatibility: These pliers are intended for use with small lures and fine-gauge split rings commonly found in finesse fishing tackle kits.
