Are These the Best Fishing Pliers in the World?

[@edwardlopez461]

Been using the same Manley pliers (today) my Grandfather gave to me (as a child), back in the early 60s. The best for sure.

@@edwardlopez461 Thanks for being here and backing us up. Cherish those pliers!

[@Featherfuss]

Thank you for your videos. Andy taught me how to fly cast 2012 and back then I spent a lot of time in your shop. I’m getting back into fly fishing and though I live far away now, I’m so happy I can still get advice from you! Great videos!

@@Featherfuss Thanks for watching and thanks for the support.

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

I still have my set from 5 plus years ago. And are still cutting like butter 🤪.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@andykjohnsonjohnson7622 Thanks for watching. Brian’s originals that he talks about here are now over 20 years old and still work great!

[@barry4fish]

Except for the colored grips, these side cutting pliers look just like the old Sargent pliers made for many years. I have both sizes of the original Sargent pliers, one was my dad’s and the other belonged to grandfather - they kept them in tackle boxes always ready.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@barry4fish Yes! Flip mentions that in the video.

[@jklingensteinCoot]

I never fish without Manley pliers on my belt.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We don't either! Thanks for watching.

I am from Romania and i like this youtube channel very much. More fly tying material please, maybe invite top fly tiers to tie flies for you and for us. Cheers

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for bein here. Check our Fly Tying playlist! Many guests!

Are the yellow handled models the same as the red handle pliers?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Red Handle are 6.5" and spring loaded.

[@flyguy2021]

Will the side cutters cut a heavy saltwater hook?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

As he shows here....within reason. Yes.

[@charlesmurray1220]

Do they make a needle nose?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@charlesmurray1220 They do not, but we have other options on the website!

[@augustonthefly]

Not applicable for pike and musky. Wish they made a long jaw version. Those ones are just too stubby for me.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We actually use the larger ones on Pike and Musky all the time. They work extremely well.

[@TopSecretAsiant]

Are these saltwater capable?

[@zman8340]

Sort of but they require a good bit of care to truly last years . If your wading or surf casting they will need even more , but there are guys that use them .

[@flyguy2021]

@@zman8340flip has done a fair amount of saltwater fishing

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes, Brian and Flip both fish extensively in the salt.....with Manley Pliers!

[@tced2858]

Bernards parallel pliers.....

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The originals if not mistaken!

[@tced2858]

@@Madriveroutfitters yes they held the patent very strong jaws...lol glad to see you knew!

[@N2theBlue1]

I wish they didn’t rust so damn bad

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@N2theBlue1 We sell the Teflon coated version. They don't rust!

[@johnnylightning1491]

So does it take a manly man to use Manly pliers? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@johnnylightning1491 Easy to use. Most anyone can operate well.
