Daiwa Prorex Forceps - Curved 20CM

Prorex is a line of Daiwa fishing gear designed for predator fishing, often featuring robust construction and specialized features for targeting larger, more aggressive species.

Yes, they are suitable for saltwater fishing, but thorough rinsing with fresh water and drying after each use is crucial to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.

Rinse the entire forceps under fresh water, paying attention to the jaws and pivot. Use a soft brush if necessary to dislodge any debris. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.

The curved jaws are designed to provide better access and leverage when removing hooks that are lodged deep in a fish's mouth, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

These forceps are designed for hook removal. They do not typically include a line-cutting feature. It is best to use dedicated fishing line cutters.

The Daiwa Prorex Forceps weigh approximately 0.15 pounds.

The model number for these specific forceps is 15409-035.

Rinse the pivot point with fresh water to remove any grit. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of fishing-grade lubricant to the pivot and work the handles back and forth.

Ensure the hook shank is positioned correctly within the jaws and that the fixation mechanism is fully engaged. Apply firm, steady pressure. For very small hooks, try gripping closer to the point if possible.

Inspect the jaws for any visible damage. If bent, they may no longer grip effectively. It is recommended to replace the forceps if the jaws are significantly compromised.
