If you have a fisherman in your life, or if your children are showing an interest in the sport, then you need to make sure they have the right gear. A classic must-have gear item for any angler is multi purpose fishing pliers. A good tool will include a knife blade, diamond hook hone, scissors, flat-head screwdriver, small screwdriver, and nail knot tube. Multi purpose fishing tool should attach to a zinger or lanyard so the tool is handy near the fishing vest.

There are three kinds of pliers, those that are standard long nose pliers that anglers use to pull double duty as fishing pliers, affordable fishing pliers with fish friendly features and designed with high end materials and bear an equally high price. Abel pliers fit into that third category and are designed for serious anglers that are looking for more out of their pliers than sheer bang for the buck functionality.

Finally, a multi-tool designed specifically for fishing. The new FliK Fishing Tool from Gerber includes long needle-nose pliers for quick and easy removal of hooks. Sharpen your hooks with the included file. Cut hooks with the pinch cutters. It also includes scissors, bottle opener, knife blade, saw, and flat and Phillips head drivers. One-handed opening allows quick access to the tools. Sheath included.
