Inshore fishing pliers recommendation

[CUduckreeper]

Looking for a recommendation of a quality pair that will last. If money wasn’t an option I’d buy a pair of Van Staal titanium pliers, but think $300+ for pliers is a little ridiculous. I’ve got a pair of Manley pliers in a leather sheath that I’ve had for years and are great for offshore but a little bulky for inshore fish. Would love a simple pair made of quality stainless or titanium that won’t have surface rust after one or two trips. I just hate when you buy a pair of “stainless” pliers and they are require constant maintenance to keep the rust at bay.

I know BPS was getting drug through the mud in the other thread, but I've had good luck with these.

You already answered your question- get the Van Staal's. I have two pairs that are used hard and have been for years. Other than replacing the cutters they have worked flawlessly and don't show their age one bit.

I have these Danco pliers in the small 5.5 size. Going on 5+ years with near daily use and no rust. Perfect for inshore and flies/small artificials.

Almost every aluminum plier I have had bent on me.

In the grand scheme of things $300 ain’t that much for a quality tool that will last you the rest of your life and you can pass on to someone else when the time comes

These right here...

I have Van Staals with a lanyard on my belt and Dancos on the boat for guests to drop over board.

ETA: I still have some of the Manleys Fish showed and they are as good as new at 20+ years old as well. They are more suited for offshore as I feel the need to have the needle nose inshore.

Wiping down your equipment with some Sentry Solutions Marine Tuf cloth can extend the life of your gear.

The Danco titanium ones are legit. After 2 pairs on the bottom of the lake I have gone for a more economical option.

Thanks for all the replies. As stated in my first post, I completely agree with you on the Manley’s. IMG_5974.jpg

I’ve used these for a year with no problems. Not as beefy as my VS but perform well
