Why We Like The Simms Guide Pliers
Designed with extensive input from some of the best guides in the business, the Simms Guide Pliers put our rusty needle-noses to shame. Premium materials like 17-4 stainless steel, 6061 anodized aluminum, and tungsten carbide offer durability and corrosion-resistance. Simms also added handy features like a cutting blade for slicing through line, a beveled notch for tightening knots, and a bottle opener for cracking open celebratory cold ones.

Great Pliers!
Very happy with quality of pliers and sheath - lanyard it long enough to reach over gunnel and release fish. Recommend.

Excellent pliers, sheath can be improved
Undoubtably the best fishing pliers out there. Super ergonomic with a resting “open” position coupled with a finger-hole makes for an inspired design The sheath - whilst functional - could do with a two-tiered male-female brass button for quick deployment on belts and molle webbing. I ended removing the incumbent rivet system and replacing with a customised solution. That said, pliers sitting in an inverted position remain snug and at zero risk of falling out (I keep them at chest height when deep wading local Sydney flats) Super pleased with this purchase and expect a good 20-25 years out of them

It is the best fishing plier on the market. Truly an indispensable tool for a fishing guide.

Maike in America!
I am so far very happy with them. They are reluctantly replacing my 25 year old Van Staal titanium pliers. Since Van Staal are no longer made in the US, I went this route.

WOW! These Guide Pliers are fantastic. A lot of great thought went into the design; they’re lightweight, tough, and ergonomically perfect. They cut braided line and monofilament quick and clean. Moreover, the leather sheath looks great and is far superior to plastic. I couldn’t be happier. The best fishing pliers I’ve ever owned.
