Description
The Ultralight Pliers have been a staple for us since 2006. In 2010 we improved the original design by replacing the external spring with an internal one and augmented operating tension. The Ultralight Pliers are an angler favorite for steelheading and those colder times where gloves are preferred on the water.
Features:
- Smooth Tapered Tips – for easily de-barbing everything from steelhead hooks to micro-midges.
- Serrated Scissors – to cut any size line or tippet, or mid-session fly modification
- Internal Spring – excellent operating tension in your hand. This is a significant design difference. Our pliers want to be open, which makes them more responsive in your hand and easier to use.
- Angled Tips – to facilitate de-barbing hooks down to 20-22.
- Attachment Hole – for those of you who like their pliers on a leash.
- Eyelet Cleaner – to clear out the eye of the hook.
- Individually Quality Controlled and improved at our HQ in Utah.
- Unconditional Warranty!

Love these pliers. Crazy light, nice and compact, with tons of functionality. I don’t find myself using hemostats or pliers very often when I’m on the water, so these are perfect. I forget they’re even there until I need them. Grips are nice and the hold is great. The grip to disengage is nice, being a lefty, most standard pliers are difficult to manipulate, and these get around that issue completely.
Scissors, flat front for smashing barbs, serrated back for the heavy lifting, and an eye clearing spike. Everything you need in a tool like this.

These are my go-to hemostats. Nice and lightweight. I like that towards the tip is flat and then the other portion has the “grabbing ridges.” The spring and locking mechanism function perfectly. Grip is solid and comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was the eye clearing spike. I had the misfortune of catching some flesh in that thing and as you can imaging, that was quite unpleasant. I just cut it off and filed it down flush. If I lost these on the river, or elsewhere, I would buy again without hesitation.
