New Gerber fishing pliers
 
Which model of Gerber is that slick new pair of pliers that I keep seeing
the pros use on their fishing shows? The ones that flick open with a snap
of the wrist. I'm thinking that might be one of those "gotta haves."

TIA

Keith

At a $102.0 bucks a throw, I'll have to make due with my $38.00 dollar
version. RichG

Yikes! They're that much? I thought $70 for the Leatherman Wave was
pricey. Not to mention the possibility of flicking that baby right over the
side. :-(

I carry a Leatherman Wave tool, and I find its worth the price. You might
do a search of various on-line sales sites. I beleive Amazon had them as
low as $57 during the holidays.

I have the Gerber 600 model and it does everything that I want it to and
find it an extremely useful tool. And, I paid less than $60 for it at my
friendly neighborhood Walley-World. I had a Buck Knife Co. Multi-Tool and a
Leatherman. Opening the pliers with a flick of the wrist is much easier,
handier and "cool lookin'" than the other brands.

I would suggest practicing on dry land with that manuever before trying in
on the water, yes, it is possible to flick it overboard.

LOL, yeah, but that one was kicked out of my hand by an upset gar. I still
paid for the original one! That's my story and I'm sticking to it... ;-p

I never flicked one overboard, but when I first got it, I did send it
sailing across the room a couple of times. Now, having one kicked out of my
hand by one thoroughly p.o.'d gar fish, that's a different story!
